The Scottish Government reporter said the wall in Polmont 'is a prominent and characterful feature'
A controversial plan to demolish a house to build three new homes in Polmont has been refused again after an appeal to the Scottish Government reporter.
If approved, the plans submitted by Stephen Gillespie would have meant large sections of a wall along Marchmont Avenue being knocked down to gain access to the houses.In a verdict issued this week, the reporter ruled: "It is my opinion that the wall makes a valuable contribution to the townscape along Marchmont Avenue and contributes positively to the character of the area and its sense of place.
The reporter also agreed that the new homes could cause overshadowing and that one would be "overbearing" for its neighbour on Lyall Avenue. More than 50 residents from Scott Avenue, Marchmont Avenue, and other nearby streets, had objected to the plans and at the February meeting, Councillor Gordon Forrest said he had had more enquiries about this development than any other issue since his election in May 2022.
