Special efforts to preserve wildlife and renew green space have been agreed by developers of one of West Lothian’s largest housing developments.
The first detailed plans for the redevelopment of the Bangour Village hospital site were agreed this week by the council’s Development Management Committee after housebuilders said they would comply with calls to appoint an ecology officer to oversee work.
The committee agreed to back the initial construction phase of 357 houses and 55 flats on the site close to the listed buildings which have been retained for conversion to homes and part of a new primary school.
