The developer has run two public engagement events locally, engaging with the community of Muirhouses as well as Bo’ness Community Council.

Feedback from these events has helped to shape the concept masterplan and following this consultation, the housebuilder has now submitted a planning application in principle for the development.

Shelley Thomson, senior land and planning manager with Stewart Milne Group, said: “Our overall vision for this site is to create a highly attractive, desirable place to live which complements the existing character, architecture and landscape.

“Our proposed development will sit seamlessly within the surrounding village and draws on the special character of the site.
