Land for sale

Cemetery Road, Fauldhouse EH47

An exceptional opportunity to purchase A generous residential building plot of approximately 10,000 sq ft (0.23 acres), with planning permission in principle granted for residential development.

Lanarkshire Law Estate Agents are delighted to present Plot 1, an exceptionally generous residential building plot extending to approximately 10,000 sq ft (929 sq m / 0.23 acres), situated on Cemetery Road, Fauldhouse, West Lothian.

Planning permission in principle was granted by West Lothian Council on 2 October 2026, under planning reference 0819/P/25, for residential development of the wider site.

In addition, a building warrant application for the erection of a dwelling on Plot 1 was submitted on 12 October 2026, demonstrating that proposals for an individual dwelling have been progressed. This application has not yet been validated or approved.

Offering approximately two and a half times the ground of a typical modern four-bedroom detached house plot, this is a fantastic opportunity for purchasers looking to create a substantial bespoke family home with generous gardens, driveway, parking and garaging.

For many buyers, building their own home is about much more than choosing a kitchen or bathroom. It is the opportunity to create a property designed entirely around the way they and their family want to live.

Plot 1 offers the space and potential to turn that vision into reality.

Imagine a striking contemporary detached home featuring expansive open-plan living areas, floor-to-ceiling glazing, vaulted ceilings and doors opening directly onto a beautifully landscaped private garden.

There is room to think beyond the house itself, with potential for outdoor entertaining areas, a garden room, home office, children's play area or simply the luxury of having a substantial garden with plenty of space around your home.
Planning permission in principle granted


A significant advantage of this opportunity is that West Lothian Council has already granted planning permission in principle for residential development of the wider site

Planning Reference: 0819/P/25

Decision Date: 2 October 2026

The permission establishes the acceptability of residential development in principle, subject to the terms and conditions of the planning decision.

A separate building warrant application has also been submitted for the erection of a dwelling on Plot 1.

Building Warrant Reference: LIV/26/0720/bw

Submission Date: 12 October 2026

Purchasers will have the opportunity to explore their preferred house design and layout, subject to obtaining the necessary detailed planning approvals, building warrant and other statutory consents.
A generous plot with exceptional potential


One of the greatest attractions of Plot 1 is its exceptional size.

At approximately 10,000 sq ft, the plot offers significantly more ground than is typically associated with modern detached homes.

By comparison, a modern four-bedroom detached home can often occupy a plot of approximately 4,000 sq ft. Plot 1 provides around 2.5 times that amount of ground, allowing purchasers to consider a substantial family home without sacrificing valuable outdoor space.

Whether your vision is for a contemporary bungalow, an impressive detached villa or a statement architect-designed home, the generous proportions offer considerable flexibility, subject to the necessary consents.

Rather than adapting your lifestyle to suit an existing property, this is an opportunity to create a home designed entirely around you
Create something truly special


The accompanying architectural illustrations and site plans demonstrate the exciting potential of Plot 1 and provide an indication of the style and calibre of home that could be created.

The contemporary detached home pictured illustrates how a substantial family residence, generous driveway and garaging could potentially be accommodated while retaining excellent external garden space.

Plot 1 forms part of a small residential development comprising just three individual plots, providing an attractive opportunity to create a bespoke home within a low-density setting.

For buyers who have always considered building their own home but struggled to find a plot offering sufficient space, Plot 1 represents a particularly exciting opportunity.
