Housing and Care Home Proposals for Armadale to Go On Show
21 April 2010
The developers behind Armadale Station Community Development, SDA Ltd, have released details of the latest phase of their £200 million regeneration plan, focused on the proposed railway station at Armadale.
New proposals are for 170 homes, a 60 bed care home and associated roads, footpaths, landscaping, play area and SUDS (sustainable urban drainage systems). Located on land to the west of Station Road and to the north of the Airdrie-Bathgate Railway line, and measuring c. 8.5 hectares (21 acres), this development is expected to create c. 60 permanent and part-time jobs at the care home, not including jobs created during construction.
A proposal of application notice has been lodged with West Lothian Council which initiates a 12-week process of pre-application consultation with the local community, prior to lodging a formal application for planning permission with the Council, expected to be at the beginning of July.
Work will start on site this year should planning permission be granted within 4 months of submission.
The documents submitted in support of the application can be viewed below:
