Developer submits final plan for 178 homes in Bo'ness

Miller Homes has submitted what it hopes will be a final planning application to build 178 houses on land at North Bank Farm, Bo'ness.

Falkirk Council rejected the application last year but the company appealed to the reporter appointed by the Scottish Government.

The appeal was granted last month, subject to several conditions, and now Falkirk Council has to give them final approval.

It is being asked to agree where the buildings go and how they look, including materials used.

The council will also have to agree access arrangements and the landscaping of the site as well as drainage arrangements.

There will also be a public art proposal as part of the development and the company is saying it will consult locally before making a suggestion.

The site is beside Miller Homes' current site in Bo'ness, Kinglass Fields.

The developer will provide some affordable housing and make a contribution to local schools.
