Homes plan to go ahead

A DEVELOPER is set to build 152 new homes on agricultural land after the plans were given the green light.

Taylor Wimpey East Scotland put forward a planning application to create the development on land to the north of Seafield Road in Bilston, Midlothian.

The proposals, which were first submitted in March 2010, were approved by Midlothian Council.

The planning approval states that the building project must get under way within the next three years.
