South Lanarkshire councillors have denied planning permission to build more than 30 new homes near Lanark.
Elected members at yesterday’s planning committee refused permission to erect 36 properties in Carnwath due to issues with road safety, despite planning officers recommending approval.
The application sought permission to build three dozen plots accessed directly from Kersewell Avenue, which is accessed along a private road. However, councillors found that there were issues with the nature of the roads and deemed that it would be unsafe to give the application the go ahead.
