Hopes for new bungalows in Livingston development have been dashed.
Neighbours of a site off Tarbert Drive in Murieston argued that the two storey homes planned for the site would loom over their gardens and give them no privacy.
Two months ago they had won agreement from the Development Management Committee to request bungalows be built on the site. This would protect the privacy of the neighbours living in Murieston Valley but also provide much needed single level living, rarely found in the town.
