A former councillor who is now a developer has confirmed he is appealing a North Lanarkshire Council decision to reject his plans for dozens of new homes in Allanton.
Tommy Cochrane, who represented the Fortissat ward for a number of years, had hoped to construct 61 new houses in the village.
However, at a meeting of the council’s planning committee in January, councillors voted 11 to seven against the plans, with one member abstaining.
