Neighbours in Bo'ness objected to plans to transform an empty bungalow into a two-storey home
Plans to transform a bungalow in a conservation area in Bo'ness into a two-storey house have been given the green light, despite 25 letters of objections from neighbours.
However Dr Sean Doolan spoke to the meeting saying he represented the concerns of neighbours in Riverview Terrace and Grahamsdyke Road, who believe that the development is not suitable for a conservation area - and a spot very close to the Antonine Wall World Heritage site.He said: "In Riverview Terrace we have a view over the Forth and up to the hills on the other side which are also the views that were there for Roman legionaries and so on 1800-odd years ago.
Rebecca Fairgrieve Stuart, who has lived in Riverview Terrace for five years, says residents have pride in the area and a sense of community and would like to see the site developed "considerately".
