About the development
Masterplan
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.
Homes proposed
The proposed development aims to deliver 417 two, three and four bedroom homes in a variety of styles and sizes to appeal to a wide range of customers.
The development proposes to offer a range of private and affordable homes. 60 homes will be affordable homes for social rent that will be transferred to Stirling Council to fulfil their requirements. Our private new homes will be of our new 2024 range including two, three and four bedroom homes in a range of styles including semidetached and detached styles to suit a wide range of buyers.
Street scenes
Homes are located to provide a welcoming neighbourhood whilst maximising views towards green spaces. The pedestrian and cyclists connections from the west park into the development and beyond, towards the existing village have been carefully designed to maximise the use and enjoyment for residents.
To the east, the development merge with the existing footpath around the school’s play grounds, presenting a gateway for residents walking from Cowie’s centre to the development. This route will also provide a shortcut to amenities in Main Street, Cowie.
About our proposals
Community Benefits
The local community will benefit from significant investment and population increase within the local area.
The inclusion of extensive parkland, community green spaces, and an equipped play area will bring a real sense of community to the development. Particular care has been taken when designing the pedestrian and cycle connections from the large green space to the west of the development and the existing village, and residents will be able to walk easily to/from the local amenities in Main Street, Cowie.
The play parks will also encourage more outdoor activity.

Connectivity
Access points at Bannockburn Road and Main street have been designed to integrate our new development with its existing community and surroundings. these routes will 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 help reduce the car dependency.
A travel route on Bannockburn Road has been designed following the location of an existing core path. There will be multiple route connections providing green corridors and vistas from the development into the park whilst also connecting with the existing footpath by the school which is a desirable route towards Cowie town centre, passing through the existing park.
