Six new homes are to be built near Aldi in Polmont despite fears from one councillor that it would "decimate a much-loved area that is used by a lot of people".
At a meeting of Falkirk Council 's planning committee on Wednesday, Abhainn Developments was given permission to build six two-storey houses on land at the east side of Airlie Drive, Polmont, close to the Aldi store.
The plans for the new houses at Appin Grove, Polmont originally sparked nearly 50 objections but the man behind the plans told members of the planning committee that several changes had been made to address people's worries.
