Confusion over Falkirk gypsy traveller site land ownership causes delay

A long-running planning application to create a permanent pitch for a gypsy/traveller site near Falkirk has been delayed again after confusion over ownership of the land.

At a meeting of Falkirk Council 's planning committee on Wednesday, members had hoped to determine a retrospective application for a change of use to vacant land to form private permanent gypsy/traveller pitch for one static caravan and one tourer, as well as hardstanding, car parking and a shed at Wesleymount, Church Road, California, Falkirk.

However, an objector's comment that the applicant does not own the land means that planning officers will now investigate the situation to make sure any decision cannot be challenged.
