More than 300 homes are to be built in Stirling.

Councillors have approved plans for the Robertson Group develop 319 units on four different sites across Raploch.

The proposals include;

• 75 affordable homes at Back O'Hill Road where formerly there had been Council housing (Gowanhill Gardens).

• 211 homes (a mix of 75 private and 136 affordable housing) at a site that was previously a primary school and playground


• 16 'affordable' homes at Drip Road between Kildean Hospital and Balfour Street

• 17 'affordable' homes, on a site which fronts Drip Road

Convenor of the Planning and Regulations Panel, Alasdair Macpherson, said: "One of our key priorities is to build more affordable homes across the Stirling Council area and these developments will result in an increased supply of good quality, energy efficient housing.

"I look forward to seeing this project getting underway and for new tenants to be able to access these new properties in the future."
