Durieshill plan takes step ahead
Stirling Observer
|May 30, 2025
Scottish Water will shortly start work to investigate the condition of its water network in preparation for a major new housing development for Stirling.
Durieshill - dubbed the 'Supervillage' - will see the creation of a brand new 3,000 home village between Plean and Bannockburn.
Homebuilders Springfield Properties and Barratt Homes submitted updated applications to Stirling Council for the Durieshill development at the end of last year.
As one of the largest detailed planning applications to have been approved in Scottish history, it spans 600 acres and will include extensive green spaces, schools, shops, and commercial opportunities.
Scottish Water are preparing to do some preliminary work, which will mean some road closures in the coming weeks.
