Two-phased plan to transform former Killearn Hospital into new homes

Plans to develop the site of the former Killearn Hospital will now be carried out in two separate phases to hasten the transformation of the long-term derelict land, Stirling Council has revealed.In 2020, developer CALA Homes was given planning permission to build 89 new houses at the derelict rural location, with an area of the site earmarked for development as commercial space.Planning conditions required remediation work to be carried out on the entire site before the start of construction.Last week, Stirling Council’s Planning and Regulation Panel approved an application by CALA to vary the conditions attached to the original planning consent.Remediation of the site will now take place over two phases, with phase one remediation works being undertaken on the residential site, while phase two remediation works on the non-residential site will be undertaken at a later date.A mix of house types consisting of bungalows, terraced, semi-detached and detached properties, ranging from 2 bedrooms to 5 bedrooms, will be built.
