Homes plan for Kippen

Two new homes could be built in Kippen.

Dionne Shaw has submitted an application to Stirling Council planners for two houses on land adjacent and east of Corner Cottage at Burnside.

The one-and-a-half storey three-bedroom, semi-detached homes would be low energy and feature pitched roofs with cottage-type dormer windows.

In documents submitted with the application, agents said:“The site is set in an area of natural landscape on the outskirts of the village of Kippen and is approximately 780 sq.metres in area. The site is bounded to the north by the access road (Burnside, from Kippen village) with field land beyond. East of the site is field land.

“To the south of the site there is farm land owned by the applicant and the west the site will share a boundary with Corner Cottage, also owned by the applicant.

“We believe the proposal will provide appropriately sited, designed and detailed dwellings in keeping with location and surroundings that will provide sustainable and modern family accommodation for many years.”

Council planners are expected to make a recommendation on the application in due course.
