Scotland stands at a pivotal moment in its developmental journey. The recent approval of the 3,000-home Durieshill project, nestled between Plean and Bannockburn, exemplifies the nation’s forward momentum. This expansive project, initiated in 2004, promises a blend of homes and amenities, including new schools, local shops, a business park, civic areas, playparks, community woodland, and active travel routes connecting Stirling and Plean.
Stirling Council leader, Cllr Chris Kane, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This is the largest detailed planning application for housing ever to be approved in Scotland. Durieshill is a beacon of opportunity, signaling Stirling’s continued growth and prosperity.” He emphasized the project’s alignment with community wealth-building priorities and the pivotal role of affordable housing.
Innes Smith, the chief executive of Springfield Properties, highlighted the transformative potential of the Durieshill development, noting, “Our vision encompasses a vibrant new village, enriched with homes, schools, shops, and services. Beyond housing, the development is poised to generate over 400 jobs and apprenticeships, invigorating the local economy.”
