Six houses proposed for a narrow strip of land in West Lothian are set to be refused over fears it would be impossible for their bins to be emptied.
Planning officers have advised councillors to reject the application for a plot beside Inchcross Park, Bathgate, warning that council refuse wagons would not be able to turn in the narrow cul-de-sac that would be created by the proposed family homes .
Councillors on the Development Management Committee will consider the proposals when they meet on Wednesday. Two of the committee are local SNP councillors, Pauline Stafford and Willie Boyle.
