| Councillors have approved the plans for a major egg farm |
Scottish Borders Council's planning committee agreed to follow official advice and approve the project.
The scheme will now be referred to the Scottish Government for a final decision due to environmental concerns.
A motion was put forward at committee to defer a decision on the plans.
However, that failed to find support and councillors gave their backing to the proposal with a wide range of conditions.
