Student accommodation planned at Stirling pub site

Arc Architectural Services, on behalf of PCM Property Investment, has submitted plans to convert a ruined pub in the city centre of Stirling into student accommodation.
The former Jackie’s Bar, located on Lower Bridge Street, could be transformed into a four-storey building with 18 bedrooms, The Courier reports.
The plans, state it is not “financially viable” to refurbish the building, as a condition report described the two upper floor flats as “part derelict and totally substandard”. Rot infestation, water penetration and structural movement were also found.
A building warrant to demolish the existing property was submitted in August. If approved, the new building would be constructed in its place.
