Developers Holiday Home Plan Faces Local Opposition in East Lothian
A developer in East Lothian, Mark Fielding, has proposed building two three-bedroom semi-detached holiday let homes at Liberty Hall, aiming to boost tourism in the countryside. However, the plan has faced strong opposition from locals and planners, who argue that the homes could more than double the nearby population and risk later converting to full-time living, which doesnt suit the open rural area. Despite the land once holding a farm workers cottage and aligning with surrounding homes, planners have recommended refusal, citing concerns about the impact on the quiet community. The local councillor has called in the application for review, urging the committee to consider the potential economic benefits from tourism.
