Park Drymen Scotland

After our recent events in Drymen, being at town Council conference and our earlier article, there have been a few pre-determined questions or inquiries raised about a potential new housing site in Drymen, so we thought I would supply some clarity on these.

If you have virtually any concerns, simply make use of the remarks facility below to ask all of them and we'll update the blog:

Q1: Why not develop the 36 homes in the Stirling Road web site very first?

We can just figure out (accept or decline) planning programs that individuals get, it really is down to the landowner or creator to construct the development that is approved. There was a need for a few additional housing in Drymen; by pinpointing multiple site provides some freedom to make certain new homes tend to be brought forward. There are some other internet sites identified for brand new development or having planning authorization set up various other places inside Park, but havingn’t already been created, so it's important to provide a range of options where we could.

Q2: In the event that proposal for housing at the website North of graveyard on principal Street (website MIR62) is included in the brand new ‘plan’ what does which means that?

Following the LIVE Park assessment ends on 7 July, we're going to review most of the feedback we got and just take this into account even as we prepare the ‘Proposed Arrange’ for National Park. We shall review the comments at length that making recommendations to the Board. You will see additional consultation regarding the internet sites that carry on into the recommended Arrange (become published after that Spring). If you can find objections to the Plan then these are passed away to a Scottish Government appointed separate individual – known as a Reporter – who can review these making their particular guidelines that are last. The planning application procedure would-be split for this and might deliver forward a detailed proposal quicker.

Q3: just what existing preparation ‘rules or requirements’ would affect any planning application in the principal Street Site?

You should be clear that separate to the present assessment, a software for authorization is submitted anytime and now we must determine it. A credit card applicatoin would be examined resistant to the guidelines inside our . Generally speaking brand-new development is supported within our towns and villages on gaps web sites like this, offered it meets certain requirements of this Plan including all normal considerations tend to be fulfilled (access, design, preservation area, drainage, landscape etc).

At present the Park the most expensive parts of Scotland purchase property. We want to support our communities by having a variety of housing types and prices. There is a need to broaden the number and type in the National Park, to ensure there is affordable housing to hire and buy and therefore catches the eye of young adults, working families and the ones trying to downsize. This will only be accomplished by brand-new houses. Stirling Council’s Housing Service have actually stated that they'll fund about 10 brand new homes in Drymen from their existing budget; if authorization for those houses are secured this can be a good investment because of the Council inside Village. Or even, the financial investment is certainly going elsewhere.
