Work underway on Durieshill development

Work on a major Stirling development has begun.

More than 3,000 new homes will be built at Durieshill.

25% of these new homes will be affordable housing.

New schools, local shops and a business park will also be created.

Construction is expected to span 30 years for the development.

Stirling Council Leader, Cllr Susan McGill: “The start of work at Durieshill is a major milestone in this ambitious project that will create a new vibrant, attractive and sustainable community near Stirling. 

“Thousands of much-needed high-quality and affordable homes will be built at Durieshill. There will be new schools, facilities and travel infrastructure, including walking and cycling routes that connect to the city and neighbouring communities. 

“Local residents will benefit from new training and employment opportunities, and the significant inward investment will support the growth of Stirling and the wider region. 

“I would like to thank everyone involved for all their hard work for making the Durieshill dream a reality. While it’s incredibly exciting to see activity underway at the site, we’re committed to working with Barratt Homes to minimise disruption to local communities during the works. 

“We look forward to working in partnership with Barratt Homes in the years ahead to ensure the success of this strategic project and welcoming the first new residents when they move in.”
