Berryhills

The masterplan incorporates formal public open spaces as well as a nature park which will provide natural habitats and community areas. There will be paths providing access for cyclists, wheelchairs and pushchairs throughout the open areas, between the Nature Park and Berryhills Park, as well as connections through to the existing village.

We look forward to positive discussions with the local authority in order to progress this development and bring a number of positive benefits to the local area.  We will keep the local community informed of our progress.

The development proposes to offer a range of private and affordable homes. 50 homes will be affordable homes for social rent that will be transferred to Stirling Council. The scope of private new homes includes two, three and four bedroom homes, while the affordable properties will comprise a mix of 32 one and two bedroom cottage flats, as well as 18 two and three bedroom homes.

To help integrate the new development within the existing community and create a sense of arrival, new access points on Bannockburn Road and Main Street are proposed as the main access routes into the development. New and existing routes will be formalised to provide safe and accessible connections between open spaces and the village that can be used for walking, cycling, wheelchairs and pushchairs. Furthermore, the road design will allow for buses to enter the development to minimise the reliance on cars.

We aim to complement the existing greenspace in Cowie with a new nature park along the western edge of the site. This will be planted to enhance its habitat value with wetland areas, native trees and shrubs including fruiting and flowering species, and meadow planting. The existing core pathway will be complemented by a further pedestrians path through the park.
