Plans for Highland Gate comprise of a range of three bedroom terraced, semi-detached and detached homes, and four bedroom detached homes from the house builder’s Caledonia range, designed exclusively for Scotland. A further 20 homes will be built for Stirling Council.

With approval now granted, work is expected to start on site later this year with the first homes ready to move into next summer.

Steve Mariner, sales and marketing director for Barratt Homes West Scotland, said: “Stirling is a beautiful city where homes for families, couples and commuters alike are in high demand. Highland Gate will bring much-needed housing to the area as well as significant investment, and as part of our commitment to new and existing communities we will make important contributions to education and transport facilities in the area.”
