Stirling Council’s planning panel to discuss Seven Sisters Field plan

Stirling Council’s planning panel is set to discuss a 265-home development plan proposed for Cambusbarron.Barratt Homes West Scotland Ltd has submitted an application for approval of matters specified in conditions of that permission to build homes and associated infrastructure at the Seven Sisters Field site.An online petition aimed at stopping the Seven Sisters Field was launched earlier this year and reached a total of 230. Those wishing to prevent the build warned that warning the community’s infrastructure, including the school, roads and health services, wouldn’t be able to cope despite significant investments in the area.The development has already been the focus of a lengthy planning struggle which finally resulted in permission in principle being granted for housing last year, The Stirling Observer reports.Cambusbarron Community Council has told council planners, who are recommending conditional approval, that “an overdeveloped site, which is cluttered and claustrophobic, is not acceptable to this community”.Permission was originally refused in 2014 by Stirling Council when Hallam Land Management submitted an application to build 170 new homes on the site.The latest application, submitted by Barratt Homes, seeks to address the attached conditions.
