Furious political leaders in West Lothian have attacked the decision to allow 90 new homes to be built on farmland outside East Calder.
Planning officer Wendy McCorriston confirmed the decision by a Division of Planning and Environmental Appeals Reporter to allow the plans by Hallam Land Management to build at Hoghill Farm on Oakbank Road.
Speaking at this month's meeting of the Development Management Committee Lawrence Fitzpatrick, the Council and Labour group leader, branded the decision an “absolute disgrace”.
