A decision by councillors to reject the extension of a Dumbarton quarry after it faced fierce opposition from the community looks set to be overturned by the Scottish Government.
West Dunbartonshire Council refused to allow the Sheephill site to be extended in March last year after 20 years of debate.
Residents, local groups and community councils had hit out over the plans for years, expressing concerns about the historical and environmental impact of the work, including at the site of an ancient monument.
