A company’s plans to build houses on land near its care home in order to fund refurbishment of the facility have taken another step towards becoming a reality.

Ion Care and Support Services’ application for planning permission in principle to develop land at The Haining Nursing Home, Vellore Road, in Maddiston, to build houses – originally seven but now three – was given the go ahead by Falkirk Council planners on Thursday, July 13.

Planning documents state the site contains a two-storey listed building – The Haining Nursing Home – and associated grounds.
