A decision on planning permission for a site that was first proposed 24 years ago has been delayed again as councillors agreed to go and see the area for themselves.
Developers Hansteen Ltd had hoped they would finally get a decision on their plans to build 500 homes alongside commercial and retail development on the 55 hectare site at Gilston Park, Polmont.
But members of Falkirk Council’s planning committee said that such a major application needs careful scrutiny and they prefer to visit the area – which first came to the council’s attention in 1998 – before making a final decision.
