Application to relocate park and ride facility from Block Z to Block T of Winchburgh Masterplan

Winchburgh Developments Limited has applied for permission to relocate the park and ride currently shown on Block Z of the masterplan approved under planning permission in principle 1012/P/05 to Block T. Block Z would then become a residential development block. This would move the park and ride from the east side to the west side of the Edinburgh – Glasgow rail line as it passes through Winchburgh. It will still link to the potential new rail station but also provide car parking closer to the new town centre area. The application seeks to change the proposed use of the development blocks only – further development details will come forward separately.

Application to extend lifespan of planing permission in principle

This application does not affect any other aspect of the planning permission in principle.
