Harper & Stone are delighted to present to the market a substantial plot in Forestmill with Planning Permission in Principle for a maximum of two dwellings. Full details of the planning application can be found on the Clackmannanshire Council Planning Portal with the following Application Reference: 23/00155/PPP.

The site plan and location plan are included for the perusal of prospective buyers. According to the site plan, the plot extends to 1272sqm and the footprint of the dwelling may extend to 123sqm (if a 2-storey dwelling, 246sqm).

The following information is taken directly from the Report of Handling from Clackmannanshire Council:

‘The application site comprises approximately 0.1 hectares of vacant brownfield land, formerly used as an operations yard by the Forestry Authority at the west side of Laurie Place, Forestmill south of Parklands Place. The site lies in the countryside at the Forestmill village edge, adjacent to woodland.

The site has an existing vehicular access and access track. Ground coverage comprises unkept vegetation and rough concrete hard surface. The site slopes slightly upwards away from the public road at Laurie Place, levelling out towards the rear. There are existing bushes at the site frontage with Laurie Place. There is one tree at the site. This tree is not protected by a Tree Preservation Order and has little value in terms of amenity.

This application proposes developing the site for residential purposes. The application includes a plan indicating that the site could accommodate two semidetached dwellings. This plan is considered for indicative purposes only and would not constitute an approved layout plan.’

Viewings are strictly by appointment only via Harper & Stone.

Forestmill is set within the rolling countryside of Clackmannanshire straddling the Black Devon River and a few hundred yards from the A977 road which links Kincardine with Kinross. Forestmill lies a few miles from Dollar (3.5m) and Clackmannan (5.5m), with Alloa (6m) providing more extensive shopping, leisure and sporting facilities. Hundreds of acres of forestry commission owned woodland walks, trails and paths including Gartmorn Dam Country Park sit right at the doorstep of the house. There are also a variety of activities available locally including equestrian centres and trails, golf at Kincardine, Muckhart, Alva and Gleneagles (15m), walking and mountain biking. Schooling for all ages is also to hand with primary schools at Blairingone, Muckhart and Dollar and secondary schooling at Dunfermline High, Lornshill, Alva or Dollar Academy.
