4. 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.

Aberfoyle Blairmore pier Drymen Tarbet

Tyndrum

Local Development Plan | Action Programme | 22

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.

Flooding is a key issue within Aberfoyle. Stirling Council is the lead agency working with the community to identify and implement flood prevention measures.

These will ultimately provide the income stream that creates sustainability for the community owned assets. Funding allows for a topographical survey and architect and engineering work.

Open Space Enhancement Progress: The works completed in 2017 included new picnic benches, wooden planters, flower/shrub borders, tree works, informal children play areas, bird table, wildlife log, and wooden sculptures. The community are now maintaining the site with grass cutting and ongoing

Drymen Placemaking Priority Support improvements to the village square

The Square is the central point of the village and a priority for action identified through the 2013 Charrette and in the Local Community Action Plan. Action is needed to make it a more attractive, safe and functional place for people to congregate and gather, including a review of car parking, pedestrian

5. RURAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS We developed two Rural Development Frameworks to 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 were created to provide a coordinated policy direction and comfort to landowners, investors and communities on the types of development that could be accommodated.

Areas covered by a Rural Development Framework

West Loch Lomondside Rural Development Framework Increase economic activity, the supply of housing and improve infrastructure

Over the last year we have worked closely with Luss Estates (the local landowner), on a package of development projects within Luss and in the countryside around the village. New Homes 2017 saw the completion of 5 new affordable homes, by Link Housing Association, within the village delivering high quality development on the ground. The Framework has given Luss Estates the certainty that this affordable house site would form part of an overall package of development, including open market housing. The development of these homes represents a milestone for Luss Estates in progressing their aspirations for community growth. This provided four three-bed family homes and a smaller two-bed Luss village—5 homes built 2017 Arnburn—3 houses proposed home. By providing family homes, this can help retain local public services such as schools, in what is projected to be a declining and ageing population. The additional 11 homes planned to the south of the village and 19 new homes in the rural area (across 7 applications at various sites inc. Muirlands, Arnburn, Aldochlay, and Port O’Rossdhu) are being proposed to create a mix of housing opportunities, mainly to be open market housing, across the Luss & Arden area.

Edge of Luss village—11 homes Muirlands North—4 houses proposed New sense of arrival proposed The re-opening of the redundant filling station at the north of the village, has given the northern entrance to the village a renewed sense of arrival. There is further work to be undertaken at both entrances to the village: To the north retail/workshop units have been given approval, with attractive new public realm proposals including trees and high quality surfacing, and to the south, a new public open space has been given approval.

Buchanan South Rural Development Framework Wider Buchanan area offers opportunity for small scale development linked to building groups, or on brownfield sites. Milton of Buchanan offers opportunity for limited expansion (small-scale housing), Buchanan Castle Estate Buchanan Castle Estate, Quarry has opportunities for small scale development in the quarry and associated with the golf course and the wider countryside has opportunities for conversions and houses in connection with a established rural business. Recreation networks Progress: The track from Drymen via Buchanan Castle Estate was upgraded (Wilkie’s Path 2014/0257/DET) and with the use of existing forest roads a low level cycle and walking link was created to Balmaha in 2015. In addition, work has been underway to improve the Conic Hill path (2017/0143/DET), with the lower section complete in 2017 and the upper section recently gained planning permission. This is part of the Mountains and People project. Also, see previous page, regarding the Pontoon at Balmaha. Action: Further improve connections to the loch, pier, viewpoints and walking/cycling routes in particular improve cycle links between Balmaha Before and After Path Works—Wilkie’s Path and adjacent villages for local people and visitors and place greater emphasis on the network of forest paths for walking and cycling. Progress: Planning permission for Conversions and homes in connection with rural erection of 13 holiday lodges which was businesses implemented before expiring (2010/0277/ At a group of farm buildings on the edge of Balmaha, DET).
