This also allowed for a commercial development, including small supermarket, row of shops etc. Development in is now underway with McLean, Ogilvie and Barratt all currently building. The developer now wishes to alter and extend this development by deleting the proposed commercial elements, and extending the residential development into a vacant part of the Carfin Industrial Estate. I am satisfied that this proposal will make a positive contribution to the redevelopment of this part of Carfin, and recommend that permission should be granted subject to conditions.

Should the committee agree to approve the application, it must be referred to the Scottish Ministers for their consideration. RECOMMENDATION Grant, subject to the following conditions:- I.
