Plans backed to build 52 new homes in Longridge despite concerns
And there has been criticism that the plan - part of the Heartlands development for Whitburn more than two miles away to the north - flies in the face of integration policies by sticking affordable homes on the outer edge of the giant development site, in a village with few amenities. Planning permission for the site off Fauldhouse Road had been agreed in principle in 2006, but the details for the site initially suggested 30 homes could be built.
