A new solar farm which will help a research firm reduce its carbon emissions has been given the go ahead by Midlothian planners.
Alba Bioscience had applied for permission to install 18 rows of solar arrays on a grass bund behind its facility at Roslin Biotechnology Centre. The move will support work at the site, which is part of international diagnostics company Quotient.
A report by planning officers said the proposals will " assist the applicant in meeting targets for reduction of carbon emissions and will help support Midlothian Science Zone as a thriving location for bioscience research and development."
