Description
The plot containing the disused former water filter station presents a fantastic and rare development opportunity. Planning permission was secured for the site on 9th January 2020 to allow the former filter station to be transformed into one dwelling, drive way and garden. Planning was extended on July 18th 2023 under reference number 1009/FUL/22 and we understand this now to be live in perpetuity, with all conditions being met and development fees being settled. The site is located about 5 miles from the town of Bathgate and lies to the North of the M8 which links Edinburgh and Glasgow. The plot extends to 0.20 ha (0.50 acres), which will allow for the creation of ample area of garden ground to accompany the dwelling.
