listed buildings (clackmannanshire) historic environment scotland - open data

The Listed Building Dataset comprises the statutory addresses and supplementary information for listed buildings in Scotland. Listing is the recognition through the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 that a building or structure is of ‘special’ interest. Historic Environment Scotland lists buildings on behalf of Scottish Ministers. What is a listed building? Listing is the process by which buildings of special architectural or historic interest are protected. The listing of buildings is undertaken by Historic Environment Scotland. A listing applies to the whole of the building or structure named on the listing. Buildings are assigned to one of three categories depending upon their importance: * Category A - Buildings of national or international importance, either architectural or historic, or fine little altered examples of some particular period or style. * Category B - Buildings of regional or more than local importance, or major examples of some particular period, style or building type which may have been altered. * Category C - Buildings of local importance, lesser examples of any period, style or building type, as originally constructed or moderately altered; and simple traditional buildings which group well with others in Categories A and B.
conservation areas (updated schema 2024) planning - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data on Stirling Council's Open Data platform https://data.stirling.gov.uk. Under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 a local authority may determine which parts of its area are of special architectural or historic interest and may designate these as Conservation Areas. The public will normally be consulted on any proposal to designate conservation areas or to change their boundaries. There are over 600 Conservation Areas in Scotland. Many were designated in the early 1970s, but some have since been re-designated, merged, renamed, given smaller or larger boundaries and new ones have been added. They can cover historic land, battlefields, public parks, designed landscapes or railways but most contain groups of buildings extending over areas of a village, town or city. Further planning controls on development can be made by way of an Article 4 Direction, which may or may not be associated with a Conservation Area. An Article 4 Direction is not a conservation designation but an additional control within such areas. It is a statement made under The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011. The Direction, made by a local authority and approved by Scottish Ministers, removes all or some of the permitted development rights on an area. The effect of a Direction is that planning permission will be required for specific types of development which would otherwise be regarded as 'permitted development', i.e. development that does not require a planning application. Directions can cover a variety of minor works and might include: the replacement of doors and windows, the erection of gates, fences, garages, sheds, porches, storage tanks or the installation of satellite antennae. This dataset should be used in conjunction with the Article 4 Directions dataset also published on a Scotland-wide basis.
retail audit (2021) planning - open data

Monitoring helps us understand whether our planning policies and proposals in the development plan are achieving what they set out to do, and informs any future reviews of the plan. The Stirling retail monitoring report gives an overview of changing activity (uses, occupiers and floorspace) within the Stirling area including the city centre, out of town areas and the outlying local and village centres. The report focuses on retail, which is recognised as largely underpinning the function and value of centres, but also includes surveys of other cities/local centre uses. https://www.stirling.gov.uk/planning-and-building/planning/development-planning/monitoring-planning/ This is all the retail survey polygons and data including 1st floor and 2010 (historic).

scottish rural urban classifcations stirling policy area (2022) planning - open data

This dataset has been clipped to Stirling Council's Planning Policy Boundary The Scottish Government (SG) Urban Rural Classification provides a consistent way of defining urban and rural areas across Scotland. The classification aids policy development and the understanding of issues facing urban, rural and remote communities. It is based upon two main criteria: (i) population as defined by National Records of Scotland (NRS), and (ii) accessibility based on drive time analysis to differentiate between accessible and remote areas in Scotland. The classification can be analysed in a two, three, six or eight fold form. The two-fold classification simply distinguishes between urban and rural areas through two categories, urban and rural, while the three-fold classification splits the rural category between accessible and remote. Most commonly used is the 6-fold classification which distinguishes between urban, rural, and remote areas through six categories. The 8-fold classification further distinguishes between remote and very remote regions. The Classification is normally updated on a biennial basis, with the current dataset reflective of the year 2022.

open space strategy audit sites (2010) planning - open data

Stirling Council's Open Space Strategy 2011 set out a framework for the protection, enhancement, and sustainable management of open spaces across the council area. The strategy aimed to ensure that residents and visitors had access to high-quality green spaces, recognising their importance for recreation, biodiversity, and community well-being. It identified key challenges, such as maintaining and improving existing spaces, ensuring new developments incorporated adequate open space, and addressing issues of accessibility and connectivity. The strategy also emphasised the role of open spaces in supporting environmental sustainability, including flood management and climate adaptation. Through a combination of policy recommendations and action plans, the 2011 Open Space Strategy sought to guide future investment and planning decisions to create a well-connected and diverse network of open spaces that met the needs of Stirling’s growing population.

employment safeguard areas (local development plan) planning - open data

Employment safeguard areas are designated by local authorities within their Local Development Plans (LDPs) to protect land for business, industrial, and other employment-generating uses. These areas are identified based on economic need, demand for employment land, and their suitability for various industries. By safeguarding key employment sites, local authorities aim to support economic growth, attract investment, and prevent the loss of strategically important land to competing uses such as housing. Policies governing these areas ensure that development proposals align with economic objectives while balancing local land use pressures. Decisions on employment safeguard areas are guided by national planning policies, economic strategies, and local priorities to maintain a diverse and resilient economy.
network centres (local development plan) planning - open data

network centres (local development plan) planning - open data This dataset was produced in support of Stirling Council's Local Development Plan, published and adopted 2018. Town centres and other retail centres are defined by local authorities to meet the requirement of Scottish Planning Policy (paragraph 61) to identify town centres and other retail locations as part of a network of centres to support retail type development in the most appropriate locations. This network of centres forms part of the sequential test in assessing retail planning applications, which should be located firstly in town centres, then in other retail centres or edge-of-centre sites, so the dataset provides key locational information in assisting retail planning and policies. These centres may be defined in local development plans in the first instance.

employment land audit (2022) planning - open data

Employment Land Audits provide an annual update on the supply of employment land across the Stirling Local Development Plan area and an overview of planning and development activity relating to employment land uses in the Stirling Local Development Plan (LDP) area. The audit will inform the consideration of planning applications that relate to employment land or sites in employment use, specifically with regard to the requirement to maintain an effective land supply. It also assists in monitoring the performance of LDP policies and the strategies which underpin them. For the purposes of this audit, and the LDP, ‘Employment’ is defined as encompassing activities and uses falling within use classes 4 (Business), 5 (General Industry) and 6 (Storage and Distribution) of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1997. ‘Employment Land’ is defined as land currently in use, designated in the LDP, or with planning permission for ‘employment’ uses.
housing land audit (2023) planning - open data

A Housing Land Audit (HLA) is a key document in the planning process that assesses the supply of land available for housing development within a local authority area. It provides a detailed account of the housing sites that are expected to contribute to the supply of new homes over a specific period, typically 5 to 10 years. Purpose of a Housing Land Audit * Monitoring Housing Supply: It tracks the progress of housing developments and ensures that there is a sufficient pipeline of land to meet housing demand. * Planning Policy Compliance: Helps local authorities and stakeholders assess whether housing targets set in local development plans are being met. * Assessing Deliverability: Identifies sites that are immediately available for development and those that may require further planning, infrastructure, or land assembly before they can be built on. * Supporting Decision-Making: Provides evidence for planning decisions, appeals, and policy reviews. Key Components of a Housing Land Audit * Effective Housing Land Supply: Sites that are expected to be developed within a set period (usually five years) and are free of significant constraints. * Constrained Housing Land Supply: Sites with constraints such as legal issues, lack of infrastructure, or landownership problems, making them unlikely to be developed in the short term. * Completed Housing Developments: Records the number of houses built within the audit period. * Future Housing Land Supply: Includes sites allocated in development plans for housing but not yet in the planning system. Who Uses a Housing Land Audit? * Local Authorities – To guide planning policies and ensure sufficient land is available for housing. * Developers & Housebuilders – To understand the availability of land and plan future housing developments. * Government & Planning Inspectors – To assess whether councils are meeting housing targets. * Communities & Stakeholders – To understand where new housing developments may be proposed in their area.
thornhill local place plan boundary (2025) - open data

Local Place Plans offer communities the opportunity to develop proposals for their local area, expressing their aspirations and ambitions for future change. Local Place Plans were introduced by the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019, which contains a new right for communities to produce their own plans as part of the new Scottish planning system. Local Place Plans contain the community’s proposals for the development and use of land, and provide a new opportunity for communities to feed into the planning system with ideas and proposals. However, Local Place Plans are more than just a plan: they can help communities understand what they wants to be like in the future and help to develop a positive community identity. They can help develop local connections and collaborations and develop community capacity and improve social capital. They can support community aspirations on the big challenges for a future Scotland, such as responding to the global climate emergency and tackling inequalities. They are an opportunity for real, community-based change. In advance of Local Place Plan legislation, many communities and organisations have already been working in this way. Regulations to support the preparation, submission and registration of Local Place Plans came into force on 22nd January 2023. See Circular 1/2022: Local Place Plans which contains Scottish Government guidance.

police scotland road traffic collisions - open data

This dataset is published as Open Data and taken directly from Police Scotland's Road Traffic Collision Dataset. The dataset has been manipulated to show reportable Road Traffic Collisions within the Stirling Council area and is a join between Collision and Casualty data available here, https://www.scotland.police.uk/about-us/how-we-do-it/road-traffic-collision-data/ Supporting information about the data from Police Scotland: * Please note that these data are not official statistics. * These management information data are not directly comparable with official statistics. The data published here is for recorded collisions from January 1st Data before this date are already available online at the Department for Transport (see below). * All data are provisional and should be treated as management information. These data were extracted from Police Scotland internal systems and are published quarterly. Management information are extracted, and will be correct, as at July 2nd; October 2nd; January 2nd; and April 2nd. Historical data are refreshed to show the most current recorded information. * During 2019 Police Scotland adopted the CRaSH (Collision Recording and Sharing) data recording and management solution. This is one of the first national IT solutions implemented by Police Scotland, which is also used by over half of the police forces in England and Wales. The system is owned by the Department for Transport, and further information is available on the CRaSH website. * Before the introduction of CRaSH provision of STATS19 data (see below) was reliant on collating data from a number of different legacy Force IT systems. Due to differences in data structure and recording practices or processes, these data do not have the same level of consistency as that available from CRaSH. However, RTC data (designated as national statistics) for the period before 2020 are published on the Department for Transport website. * Within the United Kingdom, recording of road traffic collision (RTC) data is governed by the STATS19 data collection form, with guidance provided by the STATS20 Manual (Instructions for the completion of road accident reports from non-CRASH sources). Further details and access to these documents is available through the Department for Transport website. * COVID-19 : During 2020/21 there were a variety of COVID pandemic restrictions and lockdowns. It is recommended that the primary comparator to use as a baseline is a five-year average. Where this is not available, then a three-year average should be used. Where comparisons are made between 2020/21 and 2019/20 caution should be used when interpreting time series or analytical results. * National statistics for RTCs and Casualties are routinely published by Transport Scotland and the Department for Transport.
