5. PLACEMAKING PRIORITIES (PP) – ALL OTHER VILLAGES

There are five other placemaking priorities in addition to the strategic growth areas of Callander, Balloch and Arrochar. These include Aberfoyle, Blairmore, Drymen, Tarbet and Tyndrum.

Local Development Plan | Action Programme | 23

Aberfoyle Placemaking Priority Support improvements to main street and riverside car park

The 2013 charrette and other community engagement identified the opportunity to enhance and improve two key areas within the village centre- the main street and the Riverside area. Both are busy visitor areas and offer scope for improved public space and realm, and opportunity to better utilise the Riverside setting with more activities and enterprises aimed at outdoor recreation, food and drink and craft market activity. Strathard Community Trust has accessed funding for 2018/20 to develop and then implement a sustainable economic development strategy. There have been concerns with vacant shops along the main street, however in 2019 much has been happening on Aberfoyle’s main street and now the majority of shops are open with a variety of services and shops; a café, escape rooms, bike hire shop, intrepid outdoor activity provider, bakery etc. Aberfoyle has also been shortlisted for the Great British High Street Awards 2019.

Flooding is a key issue within Aberfoyle. The original flood alleviation scheme was unsuccessful at gaining funding. Following further public consultation and two flooding events, the scheme was reviewed and amended. It will be submitted for the next cycle of funding in 2019. If successful the aim is to complete by 2024.

6. RURAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS Two Rural Development Frameworks accompany the Plan as Supplementary Guidance. These pilot new approaches to guide and facilitate appropriate rural development in two pressured countryside areas of the National Park; at east and west Loch Lomondside. They seek to provide a coordinated policy direction and comfort to landowners, investors and communities on the types of development that could be accommodated.

New sense of arrival The re-opening of the redundant filling station gave the northern entrance to the village a renewed sense of arrival. Unfortunately the filling station building was burnt down and a temporary pop up caravan has been sited in its place. There is further work to be undertaken at both entrances to the village: To the north, alongside the filling station, retail/workshop units is being considered for renewal (2019/0205/DET), which includes attractive new public realm proposals including trees and high quality surfacing, and to the south, a new public open space was implemented before expiring still needs to be completed. An application is pending for a new car park to the south of the village (ref 2019/0070/DET).
