Place Profiles have been prepared to help people understand how Planning relates to the places where people live, work and spend their time.
Based on the development planning themes of sustainability, liveability and productivity, they tell a story about the environmental, social and economic characteristics of each community council area.
They have been created to help people engage in the preparation of Stirling’s next Local Development Plan (LDP3), and with the planning system more generally. They have also been produced to assist communities in preparing Local Place Plans.
The Place Profiles is an ongoing project with all Community Council areas to have a completed Place Profile in 2025.
In 2023, we prepared Place Profiles for each of the priority communities:
Please note these profiles are due to be updated in 2025.
So far in 2025, we are in the process of producing Place Profiles for communities who are undergoing the Local Place Plan process, with completed profiles for the following areas:
- Bridge of Allan and Stirling University
- Dunblane, Ashfield, and Kinbuck
- Killearn
- Strathblane and Blanefield
We welcome any comments from community members that will help shape the content of the Place Profiles. Please email any comments and suggestions about the content of the Place Profiles to LDP@stirling.gov.uk
