On 2nd March 2017 Stirling Council’s Local Review Body rejected Allanwater Developments’ two appeals against the Council’s Planners. Allanwater had put forward two plans for the same spot on the top of Holmehill: one for a luxury private house and the other for an office block. These were originally rejected last year; yesterday the Council’s Local Review Body confirmed these rejections.
In presenting their decision, members of the LRB noted that planning decisions have to reflect the policies currently in force. This once again underlined two key points: firstly that although a mansion was demolished on the site 37 years ago, it would be wrong to build another today; and secondly that a planning agreement signed in 1987 is no longer relevant.

Council makes Tree Preservation Order for Holmehill
Holmehill Community Buyout/Holmehill Ltd was formed in 2005 to buy Holmehill for community use, to ensure that the protection afforded to the hill was maintained and to ensure the hill’s sustainable development. http://www.holmehill.org/
Between 2006 and 2018, Holmehill was owned by Allanwater Developments who submitted 6 planning applications to develop the hill with housing or offices. All planning applications were resisted by the community who were supported by the planning authority, Stirlng Council.
In 2018, Holmehill was bought by a local charitable trust, the Carman Family Foundation. Early in 2019, Holmehill Community Buyout/ Holmehill Ltd was wound up - job done! And the Friends of Holmehill was formed. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
