About the area

Planning in West Lothian

West Lothian Council, based in Livingston, plans for the area along the M8 and M9 between Edinburgh and Falkirk, with towns including Livingston, Bathgate, Linlithgow, Broxburn, Armadale, Whitburn and East Calder. Its Local Development Plan sits alongside NPF4.

Large new communities at Winchburgh, Calderwood near East Calder and Heartlands near Whitburn reflect strong housing demand from the Edinburgh area. Livingston, a former new town, has a big commercial base, and logistics and business sites cluster along the M8. Linlithgow Palace and the town's conservation area, the Union Canal and the red shale bings left by the oil shale industry, some of them scheduled monuments, give the area a distinctive heritage. The council is part of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal, and growth keeps planners in steady demand.
