The plan to guide what Balfron will be like for the next 10 years will soon become a reality.

Balfron Local Place Plan has just been submitted to Stirling Council to be ‘validated’.

All being well, it will then be an important consideration in the new Local Development Plan and in developments that affect the village.

The Local Plan is a look to the future of Balfron with the community contributing their ideas and aspirations for what the village will be like in the years to come.

A spokesperson for the village steering group which coordinated the plan said: “This will be a great step forward for Balfron, and for other communities that have gone through the LPP process.
