The B825 can get busy with 'indiscriminate parking for the nearby Bridge Inn'
Planning permission has been granted to build a three-storey, five-bedroom house close to the Bridge Inn, near Linlithgow , despite road safety fears.
Planning officers advised refusing the application as the space for parking was not adequate according to regulations.While the house has three garages, Falkirk Council does not allow garages to be counted as parking provision as they are "often used for storing things other than cars inside them". They were also concerned about "indiscriminate parking by patrons of nearby Bridge Inn along this section of road which often effectively made it single lane".
He said: "There's been a lot of development in Whitecross and that is one of the main routes from that road.But Councillor James Kerr supported the plans and said it was "clearly an infill site", with houses on both sides and he believed the site was justified.
