Vennel Redevelopment

West Lothian Council Consultation

During the summer of 2017 West Lothian Council consulted residents of Linlithgow on a plan to redevelop the Vennel.  The aim of the project is to raise income for West Lothian Council through the disposal of a number of properties in and around the Vennel which will not be required by the Council when the library moves to the new Partnership Centre at County Buildings.

The West Lothian Council documents can be viewed by clicking on the following links:

Vennel Planning Guidance – the document inviting developers to make proposals

Vennel WLC Report 0417- the report of the committee meeting

 

Linlithgow Planning Forum

To determine what the community thought of the Vennel being redeveloped, Linlithgow Planning Forum held an exercise comprised, a survey (on-line and in the Library), table events at the Cross, interviews with residents, an exhibition and a final summary questionnaire.
