Licensed premises confused with church in Livingston supported housing bid
Councillors have rejected plans to build a housing complex for young people in Livingston due to a number of “significant errors” contained within the planning application and a perceived lack of community consultation.West Lothian Council had hoped to receive the green light to deliver the 28-bed supported accommodation unit at Nellburn in Deans. Planners had recommended the go-ahead of the plan which forms a central plank of the council’s housing policy to provide supported living space for young homeless people.However, the proposal was rejected by the council’s development management committee after local councillor Andrew Miller highlighted that the application had confused a nearby licensed property with a church.Councillor Miller also said there had been not enough engagement with the community before the plans came to the committee.The site is used as a car park for the neighbouring junior football club and also as a fairground during the local gala week.
