The leader of West Lothian Council has admitted he is "stunned" after the Scottish Government overturned six local planning decisions.
They included the controversial extension to the Glen Turner Distillery site increasing the number of maturation warehouses from 2 to 21, despite fears it could lead to a black fungus covering local homes, and proposals by builders to move planned affordable homes to a site not allocated for housing in Mossend, West Calder.
Of 12 items on the agenda for the July meeting of the Development Management Committee (DMC), Item 11 detailed the six cases where appeals against the council had been upheld by a Reporter working for the Scottish Government’s Division of Environmental and Planning Appeals (DPEA).
