Refused on 22 Apr 2026 · Development Management Committee · Last checked 6 Jul 2026
Planning committee
Decided by West Lothian Development Management Committee on 15 Apr 2026.
Refused unanimously
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the house would cause countryside overdevelopment, harm rural character, lack sustainable connections, and affect trees and biodiversity.
- No public representations were received, while consultees raised concerns about ecology, trees, access, and walking connections.
- The committee unanimously refused planning permission after hearing the applicant’s agent speak in support.
