THE owner of a tool shed built in the middle of a forest has been ordered to apply for planning permission if it is to remain there. The forestry shed was installed in Bolton Muir Wood, an ancient woodland which lies just over a mile to the west of Gifford. However, it was only after it had been erected that applicant Consequent Ltd, a Dunbar-based management consultancy, asked East Lothian Council planners if it needed planning approval. In a ruling issued by planners this week, they have raised an objection to the shed, ordering the firm to apply for retrospective planning permission.
