Councillors supporting the development hope it will help reduce anti-social behaviour that has plagued the area
Plans to build eight one-bedroom flats and one house on a long-vacant site in Falkirk have been given the green light.
Planning officers said they had no objections to housing on the land but they recommended that permission be refused as they had several concerns about the design. But Provost Robert Bissett, who grew up in the area, said that the site is badly in need of development and he was confident that the flats would be a positive move for the area.
