Plans were lodged with Falkirk Council looking to transform a former care home into separate residential units to provide supported living accommodation.

Safe As Houses was looking for permission to alter the existing care home at Torwood Hall, Carronvale Road, Larbert and construct 13 residential care units.

A decision to grant permission was taken on Friday, October 20, by planning officers acting under delegated powers.

The former care home, built in the 1850s, was sold last year for £600,000 to be transformed into apartments offering supported living accommodation.
