Falkirk Council to demand money to help health services cope with new housing

Developers building more than 400 new homes in Bo'ness will be asked to contribute more than £1,000 per unit to help the NHS cope with the impact new housing will have on local health services.

The site on farmland near Crawfield Road, Bo'ness, was originally rejected by Falkirk councillors but a Scottish Government-appointed Reporter overruled that decision when it was included in the council's latest Local Development Plan.

Detailed plans for the first phase of the housebuilding, which will see 229 houses being built on land to the south of Bo'ness fire station will be in front of Falkirk Council 's planning committee next Tuesday for final approval.
