A housing developer is applying for permission to build over 80 new homes in a West Lothian village.
Blackridge Developments wants to create the new development of 81 houses at Craiginn Terrace in Blackridge.
The new residential development will also boast car parking and open space, as well as access and associated infrastructure.
The site is around 9.83 acres. To the west and north west of the site are existing residential properties along Westcraigs Road, and affordable homes currently being delivered by Cairn Housing Association.
To the north of the site is Craiginn Terrace.
Blackridge Developments - an arm of a multi-disciplined real estate investment and development group - say there are a number of benefits to the houses being approved.
A spokesperson said: “Delivery of this final part of a long established allocated site in a sustainable location, close to Blackridge railway station and beside an existing principal bus route.
“Given the development is in such close proximity to the railway station, the proposed development will support the use of active and sustainable modes of transport, with pedestrian routes incorporated into the layout to encourage this, thus contributing to tackling climate change.
“A wider benefit of the proposal is that West Lothian Council will not need to re-allocate the capacity of this site to accommodate additional housing supply on greenfield or non-allocated sites.
“Residential development will contribute to the overall housing supply in West Lothian, this will include a diverse mix of types and tenure.”
