West Lothian Council has agreed land sales that will bring in more than £1 million to council coffers and enable two business parks to develop in Whitburn.
The council’s Executive approved the sale of 31 acres of land in the Heartlands Business Park, to the west of the town, to Henry Boot Developments Limited. This will allow the firm to develop industrial and associated office accommodation on the site, ready for business looking to expand or relocate.
Heartlands is a 100 acre business site created alongside the M8 west of Whitburn town centre as part of a wider regeneration of the area, including around 1,600 new homes. It largely occupies the site of the old Polkemmet coal mine which closed in the 1980s.
