New homes at gas works

A DEVELOPER is set to build new homes on the site of a former Lothian gas works under plans submitted to council chiefs.

Dalhousie Properties – based in Carrington Road in Bonnyrigg – has applied for planning permission to create the development of six homes, with integrated garages, on the site of the former Arniston Gas Works at Gorebridge, Midlothian.

The firm’s plans also call for a wind turbine to be erected on the site as part of the project.

The proposals are set to be considered by Midlothian Council at a later date.
