Planning + council notes

West Lothian Council. No significant conservation area constraints in most of Livingston. New Town status means most properties built post-1962 — modern roof construction, predictable structural ratings.

Conservation areas to watch: Livingston Village (small heritage core).

Visible-elevation installs in any of these usually require pre-application dialogue with the planning department. We handle this on every conservation-area quote — there is no extra charge for it.
