Angry West Lothian neighbours say new flats will 'destroy their privacy'

Neighbours of a former abattoir site in Bathgate have raised concerns that plans to develop more than 150 houses on the site will destroy their privacy.

Councillors on the Development Management Committee will consider plans next week to build 154 houses and 12 flats on a brownfield site in Whitburn Road on the edge of the town.

Planning officers have recommended detailed plans to go ahead, with conditions. The site is on the north side of Whitburn Road and is part brownfield, part greenfield. Screen planting in the form of conifers are situated on the site frontage with Whitburn Road.
