This follows approval to begin the procurement process for their construction.
Delivered in partnership with Persimmon Homes and supported by the Scottish Government’s ‘affordable housing supply programme’ this important development will help meet growing local demand for accessible, affordable housing while supporting Stirling’s long-term housing strategy.
The council will invest up to £7.176 million in the project, with significant funding support from the Scottish Government. The new homes will be built to modern, sustainable standards and will include wheelchair-accessible bungalows, family homes, and ambulant-disabled standard flats.
Meets the needs of Stirling's residents
Convener of the Community Wellbeing and Housing Committee, Councillor David Wilson, said: “This is a welcome and much-needed investment in Stirling’s communities.
"By securing new social rented homes as part of the wider Brucefields development, we’re not only helping to meet local housing need, but also ensuring that the benefits of new housing growth are going to be available to those on lower incomes as well as private purchasers.
“During the last year over 450 council homes across Stirling have been allocated to households on the housing list, a much higher figure than in previous years, which is in part due to more social housing investment. This helps us to address housing issues such as homelessness and overcrowding.
"This latest project reflects the council’s commitment to delivering sustainable communities and accessible housing that meets the needs of Stirling’s residents.
"By working proactively with developers and the Scottish Government, we are turning strategic plans into tangible results for our residents.”
The development responds directly to local demand, with over 1,100 households currently seeking housing in the area. The housing mix includes two, three and four-bedroom family homes, wheelchair-accessible bungalows (two and three-bedroom), and two-bedroom accessible flats. The homes will include solar PV and battery storage to maximise energy efficiency which will lower energy bills for council tenants.
The Brucefields development is a key site in Stirling’s strategic housing investment plan. The properties are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
