The subjects comprise an area of land, site of a former Mill, located on the
northern fringe of Alva, essentially lying at the foot of the Ochil Hills and
extending to approximately 0. 29 hectares (0. 71 acres) and being relatively
flat. Access to the site is on its northern boundary which abuts with Ochil
Road. The subjects having planning consent for the development of 8 detached
units, reference 09/00154/out. An alternative layout has been considered which
will provide 12 terraced units. This is a good alternative perhaps better
suited to local market demands. This is a good infill site in the village with
excellent open outlooks over the adjacent hillside.
