Plans to build more than 400 new homes near Bo'ness were given final approval by councillors today (Thursday) after delays caused by fears of flooding.
Members of Falkirk Council 's planning committee agreed unanimously that work can start on the site, which is on farmland near Crawfield Road, Bo'ness, after hearing that the existing flooding along Crawfield Road "poses no risk to the proposed development".
Members heard that a full flood risk assessment had been carried out and that the work on the development would mean a surface water drainage system will be installed. This would actually improve the situation with flooding along Crawfield Road, they were told.
