Land at Dollarfield
Dollar, Clackmannshire, FK14 7LX
location
Description
Planning
The site is positioned around 1km / 0.6 miles to the south
of Dollar, a small picturesque town in Clackmannanshire
to the east of Stirling. The land benefits from an attractive
rural location close to the River Devon and the Ochil Hills.
Edinburgh (approx. 37 km / 22 miles), Stirling (approx.
17 km / 10 miles), Alloa (approx. 8 km / 5 miles), Kinross
(approx. 17 km / 10 miles) and many other settlements can
be accessed directly via A-roads from Dollar (A91). The town
also benefits from regular bus services to locations including
Alloa, Stirling, St Andrews and Kinross. Dollar comprises
mainly residential uses although there are a selection of local
services including food stores, chemists, post office, banks
and public houses. Nearby Alloa offers a wide selection of
retail, cultural and community facilities.
The land is located to the west of the B913 around 1km / 0.6
miles the south of Dollar and approx. 8 km / 5 miles north east
of Alloa. In total the site extends to an approximate area of
2.9ha / 7.3 acres mainly comprising deciduous woodland and
open ground. Vehicular access for the development is proposed
to be taken directly from a new bellmouth entrance at the B913
to the east of the site with the proposed access road to include
a small overspill car park with capacity for ten cars.
Detailed planning permission has been granted for the erection
of 12 holiday lodges and 1 reception building over approx.
2.9ha / 7.3 acres of land:
Dollar is popular with tourists given its attractive countryside
position close to the Ochil Hills and its central location within
Scotland which is a perfect hub for exploring the country.
There are numerous local walks for a range of abilities and a
wealth of outdoor activities can be undertaken using Dollar
as a base, including horse riding, fell running, canyoning,
paragliding and golf. There are three 18-hole golf clubs
with 7km of Dollar – Dollar Golf Club, Alloa Golf Club and
Muckhart Golf Club. Local tourist attractions include the
15th-century Castle Campbell, one of the most dramatically
positioned and best preserved castles in Scotland, Dollar
Museum, Dollar Glen and Gartmorn Dam Country Park whilst
Blair Drummond Safari Park (approx. 20km) and Knockhill
Racing Circuit (approx. 10km) are both popular visitor
locations. The town is also well known for Dollar Academy,
one of Scotland’s most respected private schools. Within
Dollar itself there are several interesting historic buildings,
independent shops and eateries.
The site has planning permission for 12 well proportioned
timber holiday lodges and a timber reception lodge located
within a secluded deciduous woodland setting close to the
River Devon. The properties have been carefully positioned
to benefit from their tranquil woodland setting and have
mainly been situated in natural clearings to avoid significant
removal of existing woodland. A total of 12 one and a half
storey lodges are consented with accommodation split into
four 2, 3 and 4-bed properties. The one and a half storey
reception lodge provides space for a reception / shop, games
/ conference room, storage and staffroom.
To the north of the site is open agricultural land then the River
Devon, to the west is Sheardale Braes woodland, to the south
is open agricultural land and to the east is the B913, with
Riverside Caravan Park across the river to the north east. A
residential property, Rackmill House, is positioned to the north
east adjacent to the current access. The site slopes slightly
down from south to north towards the river.
