The application for this mast at the Grange Road and Lauder Road junction was refused on 12 October 2023. The applicants have three months in which to lodge an appeal with the Scottish Government. Explaining the grounds for refusal, the Case Officer wrote:
“The proposal would be in a conspicuous location, as it would be located on the crossroad of Grange Road and Lauder Road. The stark and utilitarian appearance of the mast and associated apparatus would create a visually discordant addition to the vicinity, which is characterised by mature landscaping, including a considerable number of mature trees that are situated on the boundary wall.”
