What the application says
Approval of matters specified in conditions of planning permission in principle 0272/P/08 for the erection of 59 houses with associated works (grid ref. 301988 664293)
Notes
Major new masterplan: permission in principle approved by Development Management Committee June 2026. Straddles the B7015 near West Calder/Five Sisters. Five phases over ~20 years; new primary school (693 capacity), village centre, Gavieside Bridge replacement. 2024 HLA recorded an earlier iteration at 2,500 units (H-LV 13/173/173A); press in 2026 reports up to 2,800-3,000. No builders beyond Persimmon (masterplanner) named yet; detailed planning applications for individual parcels expected in coming years - treat as one large early-stage entry pending sub-phase breakdown.
Where this comes from
Council planning register (live). Consent dates from 2017 and the current audit does not list it, so it may be built or lapsed.
