An area criss-crossed with administrative boundaries, the geography crosses these boundaries, with the area stretching from the spectacular Highland mountain scenery around Crianlarich and Tyndrum, across the Highland boundary fault line, with its forests and lochs, down to the more rolling hills of the Ochils, Campsies and the Kilpatrick Hills until it meets the fringes of the urbanised central belt of Clydebank, Stirling and Alloa.

  • Proposed Plan
    West Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan Proposed Plan SEPTEMBER 2013 Foreword Welcome to the Local Development Plan for West Dunbartonshire. This is a plan for challenging economic times. It seeks to strike the correct balance between encouraging the development of our economy and communities whilst protecting the environment that makes West Dunbartonshire an attractive place to live, visit and invest. The Plan has a focus on ‘Our Changing Places’, those areas and sites within West Dunbartonshire where the Council wants or expects to see change. The Plan provides a positive framework to try and get these regeneration sites moving. The Plan identifies land for over 5,000 new houses. It identifies almost 50 hectares of land for new business and industrial uses throughout the authority area, providing opportunities for business and employment growth. It recognises the importance of strengthening our town centres and identifies opportunities within them for over 10,000 sq.m of new retail development. The Plan recognises it is time for the step-change to be made towards a more sustainable future. It sets a framework for renewable energy developments. Development is directed towards locations that can be accessed by public transport and away from areas that may be affected by more frequent and severe flooding. A framework is set to encourage all new development to contribute towards the creation of successful places. Our natural and heritage resources are protected. These include the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site and the Inner Clyde Special Protection Area which are both of international importance. Also protected are 8 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, 48 Local Nature Conservation Sites, the Kilpatrick Hills Local Landscape Area, 5 Conservation Areas and 141 Listed Buildings.

  • Planning a Brighter Future
    Sustainable Economic Growth for All West Dunbartonshire’s Economic Development Strategy 2015 - 2020 F O R E W O R D Our Economic Development Strategy 2015-2020 provides a clear strategic approach to Economic Development for the local area and determines how we allocate resources to improve our economic performance. Over the last five years we have faced a challenging economic climate with the most severe recession in living memory, however our local economy has shown some resilience over the last couple of years and we have started to see improvements in the growth in the economy. We aim to build on this growth to ensure we continue to make a positive difference to our communities, our local businesses and the area. The Scottish Government’s new Economic Strategy for Scotland sets out an overarching framework to assist us to achieve a more productive, cohesive and fairer Scotland. The Strategy prioritises boosting investment and innovation, supporting inclusive growth and maintaining a focus on internationalisation. While public sector budgets are reducing and investment from the private sector continues to be a challenge, we remain optimistic that West Dunbartonshire can play its part in supporting Scotland’s economic success and we aim to ensure that the benefits of this success are shared by everyone. In response, we have developed a new Economic Development Strategy 2015-20 which reflects both the current economic climate and takes on board changes in national and local policy. The Council has strengthened its commitment to the Jobs Growth and Investment Framework with the aim of delivering more jobs and training opportunities within the local economy.
