Plans for a £120 million development in Polmont have finally been given approval by councillors - though it will be at least 2025 before the first families move in.
Members of Falkirk Council 's planning committee agreed on Tuesday to give planning permission in principle to build 500 new flats and houses as well as develop 2.5 hectares for commercial use.
There will also be 1.5 hectares of retail and community space that will include new neighbourhood centre which could be used for a new health centre if that idea is supported by the NHS.
