A NEW £13 million tourism village took a step closer after overcoming its latest hurdle.
The Fordel village, developed by Dalkeith-based Oakridge Property, will create up to 300 new jobs in Midlothian during construction and operation of the retail and visitor centres, hotel, shops and cafes.
Planning permission was approved in principle in June 2011 for the development at Fordel, on the A68 south of Dalkeith.
