A local teenager fighting plans for a development on a river bank site that would destroy the homes of otters and other wildlife has collected more than 1,100 signatures of support.
Robertson Homes has already lodged an appeal just weeks after West Lothian Council refused planning permission for the site in New Calder Mill Road in the conservation village of Mid Calder.
A petition opposing any development of the site has now been started by 15 year old Lucy Joseph, who said she is "deeply concerned about the wildlife" in her community.
