Objectors fighting plans to build 150 houses on farmland between Carronshore and Stenhousemuir have warned that schools and health services are already under pressure.
At a pre-determination hearing, which was livestreamed on YouTube on Thursday evening, two members of the public spoke of their concerns about a proposed development on five hectares of land belonging to Roughlands Farm at Mill Road, Carronshore.
The hearing was set up to allow councillors to hear from the developers and objectors and ask for more information where necessary before the final decision is made.
