The historic Royal Burgh of Linlithgow is also located less than 10 minutes away by car, with its Palace, Loch and canal. There is a wide variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, and leisure facilities, including two golf courses, tennis and cricket clubs and leisure centre with swimming pool and gym. Linlithgow railway station gives easy access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling, as does the M9 motorway, with Edinburgh Airport also within easy reach.
Planning
This plot was granted planning permission in principle (July 2023) for one detached four-bedroom property with garden ground and off-street parking. (Falkirk Council planning reference no: P/23/0385/ppp). Full details can be found on Falkirk Council’s website:
Site stability
The sellers commissioned a stability report in July 2023. A copy of the report is available on request. That concluded
“..it is considered that the site can be viewed as stable from a mining support view point.
With the depth of the workings and the relatively thin layer of clay above the bedrock it is considered likely that mine gas emission could be an issue, therefore it would be prudent to allow to include a suitable gas membrane within the construction detailing for the new build unit.”
Services
It is understood that the supplies of mains water, gas and electricity are close to the plot. However, interested parties should make their own enquiries of the service providers to confirm the position.
