Proposals to build housing on the site of a former meat processing plant have been put on hold for two months as developers were asked to rethink the design.
Councillors on West Lothian’s Development Management committee today listened to concerns from neighbours of the former abattoir site who say that a tree belt would disappear and be replaced with social housing looking down into their gardens.
One resident from Birniehill Crescent in Bathgate said the new homes would loom over the houses and back gardens in his street because the land was higher than their back gardens.
