After four weeks of consultation, local residents have shown their massive opposition to the proposed housing development plans at Foxhall in Kirkliston.

Over 300 individuals objections were made through the Council online planning portal with only two submissions in support. We lodged our own objection as local councillors as did local Member of the Scottish Parliament, Alex Cole-Hamilton.

Well over 400 people signed our own petition against the plans.  We want to say a huge thank you all those in the village who added their names in support.

It is clear these proposals have caused real concern, particularly over the potential traffic impact on the already congested village cross roads.

The planning application and comments submitted are now being considered by planning officials working at the Council.  They will then need to make a recommendation to the planning committee on whether to approve or refuse the application.  This is not expected until well into 2018.

We will keep people posted on developments and when a specific date for the planning committee is arranged.
