Dennyloanhead

Overview
Community Consultation

Mactaggart & Mickel Homes led evidence at the Falkirk Local Plan Inquiry in 2009 seeking to secure residential development and ancillary uses on a site at Glasgow Road Dennyloanhead for 550 new houses.

Whilst the Falkirk Finalised Draft Local Plan had recognised the potential of a smaller area of the site for housing in the longer term, Mactaggart & Mickel Homes persuaded Falkirk Council, via pre-inquiry modifications, that an increased area of land would result in a better fit of the proposed development into its landscape as well as providing additional access options. In terms of timing it was also agreed that the site could come forward as an immediate housing proposal.

An application for Outline Planning Permission was submitted in the summer of 2009 and was approved at committee on the 23rd March 2011 subject to a section 75 agreement.

Family owned housebuilder, Mactaggart & Mickel Homes held community consultation meetings in Denny on 22 and 23 April 2010 to outline its proposals for an attractive housing development at Dennyloanhead.

Having lodged an outline planning application with Falkirk Council in July 2009, the two public consultation meetings gave local residents and interested parties the opportunity to learn more about Mactaggart & Mickel Homes plans for building up to 550 handcrafted homes, with associated access and structural landscaping, on a 29 hectare site.

Local Residents were able to learn more about the Mactaggart and Mickel Homes vision to incorporate much needed affordable housing into an attractively landscaped and safe residential development and to extend facilities at the Head of Muir Primary School. Mactaggart & Mickel Homes Homes values the opinion of the local community and would like to thank all those that attended.
