Project Introduction Context
Site Analysis
Offifice Proposal
• The site comprises a 2.38 hectare area of the northern ‘peninsula’ of the Craigforth Campus bounded on the north by the A84 and on the South by the River Forth.
• The site is accessed via the existing campus entrance off Craigforth Roundabout - the access splits beyond the roundabout
to service the site to the West and the remainder of the campus to the South.
• This part of the campus is the closest to Public Transport connections with bus stops located along the A84 - nearby is the Forth Trail, a pedestrian and cycling route that leads into Stirling city centre.
• An existing building on the site, Lomond View is occupied by a financial services company.
• An existing car park occupies a large part of the site area - the majority of which currently serves the wider Prudential campus.
• There are significant existing mature trees along the northern site boundary with the A84 which partially screens the site from the road. Within the site, formal linear tree lines are arranged within the car park area.
• To the west, the A listed Drip Bridge,
now a pedestrian only route leads to the designated Conservation Village across the river, some 200 meters from the proposed position of the new building.
• There are significant views in all directions - a key asset for occupants of a new office building on the site.
