Plans to build 150 new homes on greenbelt land in Carronshore will be examined at a special hearing of Falkirk Council 's planning committee next Thursday.
The pre-determination hearing will allow councillors to find out more from developers Taylor Wimpey, who want to build on 12 hectares of land belonging to Roughlands Farm at Mill Road, Carronshore.
The hearing, which will be held online, will also allow anyone with objections to the plan to put their case.

The land, which is just a small part of the farm, is bounded by Webster Avenue and Roughlands Drive.
The wider Roughlands Farm site has been considered several times for inclusion in the Local Development Plan but has been rejected so far by the Scottish Government reporter.
Before making the application, the developers were required to hold a public consultation event, which took place online last September.
Comments from that consultation will be incorporated into the planning process and 98 responses were received.
Nine objections to the plans have also been submitted.
These include concerns that any more development will put pressure on local schools - especially Larbert High School - and nurseries as well as GP practices and dentists.
Falkirk Council officers will also seek to make sure that the development has adequate services such as roads, parking and safe pedestrian and cycle routes for residents.
