A former abattoir site on the edge of Bathgate is to be redeveloped for housing after laying derelict for more than 20 years.
The site on Whitburn Road was vacated in the late 1990s and has long been earmarked for new housing.
Proposals by an Irish building firm, Urban Life, for 154 houses and 12 flats, were first put before West Lothian’s Development Control Committee two months ago. They met with opposition from neighbours in Birniehill Crescent which neighbours the site to the north and east.
