West Lothian homes plan rejected over fears road would become 'death trap'

Plans to build six houses on a former quarry site in East Calder have been rejected after neighbours raised fears for road safety around their homes.

JB Developments ltd have had permission in principle to the develop the site at Raw Holdings since 2016. The Local Review Body overturned a prior refusal and allowed a plan for six two homes on the brownfield site.

There were 43 objections to the detailed plans however, and objectors told a recent meeting of the Development Management Committee that allowing construction lorries onto the single track access road would be "a death trap".
