Our Bridge of Allan Local Place Plan helps us express our aspirations for the community we live in and is used to influence local planning policy set by Stirling Council through the Local Development Plan (LDP).
Bridge of Allan Community Council wants to take this opportunity to thank the community, and community organisations, who have participated in the development process for this Local Place Plan over the last 18 months. In particular we want to thank Discover Bridge of Allan, our local Development Trust, who we have worked jointly with on the community engagement which informs this plan and the local Community Action Plan.
We believe this ‘Our Bridge of Allan’ plan reflects the views and opinions shared by the community of Bridge of Allan during a range of engagement exercises, and recognise that the plan only exists thanks to the commitment and passion of those who live, work in, or visit, Bridge of Allan.
This Local Place Plan was developed by a small sub group of Community Council members and board members from Discover Bridge of Allan. This group dedicated themselves to the creation of a focused plan which reflects community aspiration, an exercise which has run for more than a year and required a significant time commitment.
The plan has been developed wholly by volunteers with no external funding or technical support, and is a huge credit to those volunteers.
