Plans for homes in Polmont woodland backed by Falkirk councillors

Falkirk councillors have backed plans that will see 42 trees being removed to make way for three new homes in Polmont woodland.

But architect Adam Toleman told members of the review committee that the applicant, Oskar James, is committed to making improvements to the woodland. But several neighbours objected to the plans, saying the woodland is highly valued by the community. Local residents were also concerned that the construction work would be disruptive to wildlife and local residents.

The applicant has also offered to work with a neighbouring landowner to make improvements to the viaduct that leads over Polmont burn to Gray Buchanan Park.
