The owners of a quarry which is being used for landfill as part of its restoration work are set to take their plan to move recycling facilities onto the site to local communities.
The NWH Group, which own the quarry at Middleton Limeworks, Gorebridge, want to relocate their recycling centre at Mayfield Industrial Estate, Dalkeith, onto the quarry land, arguing it makes sense to have them both together.
However planners from Midlothian Council are set to tell councillors that the move would be against their own policy arguing recycling centres are more suited to industrial estates than the countryside.
