With strong occupier demand and limited modern stock available, the site provides a fantastic development opportunity, or for owner occupation.
The predominantly flat site extends to c. 5.93 acres (2.4 hectares) with multiple access points. Adopted Stirling Local Development Plan 2 identifies the site as lying within a designated ‘Employment Safeguarding Area’ considered suitable for Class 4 (Business), 5 (General Industry) & 6 (Storage or Distribution) development. Subject to planning, the site offers potential for alternative commercial uses.
Representations were recently made to Stirling Council’s ‘Call for Sites’ consultation, seeking the site’s allocation for a range of commercial uses within Proposed Stirling Local Development Plan 3.
Location
Stirling is home to 94,210 people as well as the renowned University of Stirling. The city’s forecasted GVA growth of 1.7% p.a. between 2025 and 2028 makes it the fourth fastest-growing UK city.
The site is in the heart of the Springkerse Industrial Estate, Stirling’s principal industrial location and hosts commercial occupiers such as MKM, Kwik Fit and Screwfix. The site has several access points from both Whitehouse Road to the east and Springkerse Road to the North. The busy Kerse Road makes the southern border and benefits from the bus services to Stirling city centre and Falkirk.
The site neighbours one of Scotland’s busiest car showroom clusters with Arnold Clark, Eastern Motor Group, VW/Audi and BMW/Mini among the occupiers. Additionally, the prominent Springkerse Retail Park sits less than a kilometre away from the site and features retailers such as TK Maxx, B&M, B&Q and Morrisons.
The site is extremely well-connected, just under 1 mile from Stirling’s city-centre and train station and within an hour’s drive from over 2 and a half million people via the M80, M90 and A/M9.
