During July 2023 the NHS brought a parcel of woodland at Towers Road, Airdrie to the attention of the KLTR. The NHS intimated that they required the land to facilitate utilities and access to the Monklands Replacement Project which has commenced on neighbouring land.
The relevant checks were carried and the land was confirmed as being suitable for OPTS.
In July 2025 the Monklands Replacement Project submitted an application under OPTS.
