Forrestfield, North Lanarkshire Planning Applications

Forrestfield is a small settlement in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, situated along the A89 road, just 3 kilometers east of Caldercruix and 4 kilometers west of Blackridge. Although the area once featured a railway station on the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway, it has since closed, despite the line's reopening in 2010 as the Airdrie–Bathgate rail link. Notably, Cairneyhill Quarry, a whinstone quarry operated by Tarmac, is located just half a kilometer to the south, highlighting potential areas of interest for planning applications in the region.
