Local plan - general information
The West Lothian Local Plan was adopted by the council and became operative on 13 January 2009. It provides guidance on the location of development across West Lothian, based on meeting the requirements set by the approved Edinburgh & the Lothians Structure Plan 2015. This is the first district wide local plan for West Lothian. This local plan has replaced the existing previously adopted Area Local Plans covering the Calders, Linlithgow, Livingston, Bathgate and Broxburn.
