Whiteburn will also make a financial contribution towards education to provide for the temporary expansion of Sinclairtown Primary School until a new school is built as part of the Local Development Plan.
During the committee meeting, councillor Zoe Hisbent raised concerns about the sewage system.
She said: “The neighbouring streets have had problems for a number of years and there have been meetings with Scottish Water and environmental services and the owners of the pumping station, given that these issues are still ongoing for these residents, will these new properties be accessing the same network? Has an assessment been carried out to make sure the sewage system can cope with these 73 properties?”

Plans for more than 70 new homes on the site of a fire-hit Fife school look likely to be approved this week.
Councillors will consider an application for 73 properties at the former Viewforth High School in Kirkcaldy, which was engulfed in flames in August.
Developer Whiteburn Viewforth LLP wants to build a mix of houses and flats on the Loughborough Road site.
Fourteen people have objected to the proposal, which council planners have classed as a major development.
