Site Description 1.1 The application site comprises an area of vacant land with an area of 1,300 square metres. It is bounded to the north by Main Street, Plains and to the south by the reinstated railway line, to the east by 132 and 134 Main Street and to the west by 118 Main Street. The site is relatively flat and gently slopes downwards in a southerly direction towards the railway line. The front third of the site is covered by small trees and shrubs while the remainder of the site is relatively clear grassland. Surrounding dwellings are a mixture single, one and a half and two storey dwellings. The site was historically occupied by a row of traditional street fronting terraced cottages and slopes gently downwards in a southerly direction towards the railway. 2. Proposed Development 2.1 Planning permission in principle is sought for a residential development with vehicular access being taken from Main Street. The applicant has provided an indicative layout plan showing three house plots with a vehicular access along the eastern boundary of the site. 3. Applicant’s Supporting Information 3.1 The applicant submitted a written statement in support of the application arguing that the proposal complies with Local Plan policy and will remove an unattractive vacant site thus enhancing the village. 4. Site History 4.1 Previously occupied by a row of street fronting cottages. Network Rail purchased and cleared the site as part of the reinstatement of the adjacent Airdrie to Bathgate railway line. 5. Development Plan 5.1 The application site is zoned as HCF1 A – Existing Residential Area (where there is a presumption against development that would be detrimental to residential amenity) in the North Lanarkshire Local Plan 2012.

Consultations 6.1 The Coal Authority initially objected to the proposal but has subsequently withdrawn this objection as a result of the submitted Coal Mining Risk Assessment and provided that a condition is imposed regarding intrusive site investigations and implementation of remedial works. 6.2 The Council’s Transportation Section has expressed no objection subject to certain standard
