Springkerse Industrial Estate | Community Consultation
From cleared industrial land to a new hub for employment and investment, helping to support Stirling's economy.
Welcome
Welcome to our consultation website, where you can find information about Scott Properties Developments Limited’s proposals for the redevelopment of a cleared former industrial site at Springkerse Industrial Estate, Stirling.
The site was formerly occupied by the Sterling Precast manufacturing works, whose operations were relocated to Plean as part of a wider expansion programme.
Scott Properties Developments Limited is now bringing forward proposals to redevelop the vacant site through a mixed employment development that supports continued investment and regeneration within one of Stirling’s principal business and industrial locations.
The proposals comprise a Planning Permission in Principle application. This would establish the principle and broad parameters of development before detailed proposals are brought forward at a later stage.
This website explains the emerging proposals and how you can participate in the statutory preapplication consultation process before any planning application is submitted to Stirling Council.
A Proposal of Application Notice has been submitted to Stirling Council, formally commencing the consultation process.
About SPDL
Scott Properties Developments Limited is a special purpose vehicle owned by brothers John Scott and Norman Scott.
John and Norman previously owned Scott Pallets, the United Kingdom’s largest manufacturer and supplier of timber pallets. The business was headquartered in Dunfermline and was sold in November 2022.
Through their Scott Properties division, John and Norman acquired a significant number of industrial units across Springkerse Industrial Estate in 2007. They continue to own around eighty units at various locations on Munro Road, Kerse Road and Whitehouse Road. These units range from approximately 1,300 to 8,000 square feet and are occupied by a wide variety of small, medium and national businesses.
The proposals for the redevelopment of the cleared site at Whitehouse Road represent a continuation of their longterm investment in Springkerse and their commitment to supporting business growth and economic activity in Stirling.
Site Background
Springkerse Industrial Estate was established in the early 1990s and has grown to become one of Stirling’s principal employment locations.
The site was formerly occupied by Sterling Precast. Operations were relocated to the Plean Precast facility as part of a wider expansion programme, allowing all manufacturing activity to be undertaken within one modern facility.
Following relocation, the Springkerse site was cleared and has remained vacant. This creates an opportunity to secure a productive longterm future for a brownfield site within an established industrial area.
Emerging Proposals
Scott Properties Developments Limited is preparing a major Planning Permission in Principle application for a mixed employment development.
The proposals include a range of unit sizes capable of responding to different occupier requirements and changing market demand. The development is expected to comprise:
- Class 4 business
- Class 5 general industrial
- Class 6 storage or distribution
As a Planning Permission in Principle application, the focus is on establishing the principle and broad parameters of development. Detailed design, building layout and architectural proposals would follow in later applications.
Benefits of the Development
Redevelopment of the site would:
- Bring vacant brownfield land back into productive use
- Support continued investment within Springkerse Industrial Estate
- Provide flexible modern employment space for a range of businesses
- Strengthen an established industrial location with existing infrastructure and connections
- Contribute to sustainable regeneration within Stirling’s economy
