This Planning Guidance (PG) specifically relates to the development of land which embraces part of the historically recognised Battle of Linlithgow Bridge but which was nevertheless allocated as an additional site for housing (H-LL 13) by the Scottish Government Reporter during the Local Development Plan examination process. The LDP was adopted in 2018.
Torphichen is one of 10 conservation areas in West Lothian. It was designated in 1976 and is centred on the Torphichen Preceptory, a Scheduled Monument of national importance, and it includes a number of listed buildings. It also embraces the surrounding village and a broad sweep of hills to the east which contributes to its distinctive setting. Recognising that the designation was made some time ago the Council has determined that a review is now in order and a draft Conservation Area Appraisal (CAA) has been prepared.
The Delivery Programme sets out the infrastructure actions and guidance which are necessary to implement the council's current Local Development Plan.
