Feedback is being sought to inform the Evidence Report. This provides the foundations of the new Local Development Plan by gathering data and information on issues such as housing, infrastructure and health needs.
People are also being encouraged to have their say to help develop key areas such as housing, local living, and heritage.
The new Local Development Plan will guide all future developments in the area so it will impact on everyone across Stirling.
It covers things like building new homes, roads, schools, parks and other community facilities, to protecting our natural environment and supporting business space and sustainable economic growth.

What is a local development plan?
A local development plan is an official planning document that sets out policies and proposals for development and the management and use of land and helps to ensure it is used in the long-term interests of the public.
It helps the Council guide developments to the most appropriate locations, and makes sure our built and natural environment is protected and sets out how we will provide new or improved community facilities, including roads, schools and parks
All Scottish local authorities must have a local development plan. Stirling Council adopted its current one in October 2018.
The new LDP will support and guide change and development within the Stirling Council area (with the exception of the area covered by Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Planning Authority).
The Evidence Report for the new LDP must be approved by Council before it's published and submitted to Scottish Minister for assessment. The Council intends to adopt its new LDP in December 2027.
