Plans to build 395 new houses on the edge of a Midlothian village which does not have a single bus service have been given the green light despite 163 objections.
Midlothian Council's planning committee approved the plans by Bellway Homes for land to the east of Auchendinny which include 98 affordable housing units.
However concerns were raised at the lack of bus services for Auchendinny with councillors calling for part of the developers contributions to be used to ensure public transport was restored to the community.
