The proposal includes the provision of 191 two and three-bedroom terraced and semi-detached homes as well as three and four-bedroom detached homes, pocket play spaces for children together with the associated infrastructure required for a development of this scale.

Heartlands is situated on the edge of the small West Lothian town of Whitburn and provides excellent transport links for both Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the new motorway junction 4A on the M8 also forms part of the wider Heartlands masterplan development to deliver around 2,000 new homes, commercial space, as well as retail and leisure facilities all set in the tranquil West Lothian countryside.

Pauline Mills, land and planning director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said: “We can confirm that an application for Approval of Matters Specified by Condition has been submitted to West Lothian Council for our land off Longridge Road in within the popular Heartlands development.

“As well as an impressive range of new homes, our next proposed development at Heartlands aims to provide continuity of build from our existing development, as well as a range of economic benefits for the local Whitburn and West Lothian area. This includes supporting over 160 jobs per year of construction, as well as the attraction of new customers to local businesses from those who choose to live in one of the new homes this development aims to deliver.”
