Councillors have overturned a decision to refuse permission for solar panels on the roof of a house next to an historic church after being told it is a "changing world"
The owner of the house, next to Dalkeith Country Park and St Mary's Church, had argued that the three panels on his roof would not distract passers by whose attention was already captured by a ‘neon pink’ park advertising board and church signs next to his home.
However planning officers refused permission for the panels, leading to an appeal to Midlothian Council's Local Review Body.
