A controversial application to allow a small, permanent Gypsy/Traveller pitch on a former farm outside Falkirk has finally been given the go-ahead despite a bitter dispute over who owns the land.
Alister Fowler was granted retrospective planning permission by Falkirk Council for a change of use of vacant land in California to form a private, permanent Gypsy/Traveller pitch with two caravans - one static and one tourer.
He was also given permission to keep hard-standing, car parking and a shed that had been built on land formerly belonging to Wesleymount Farm.
