Kilsyth Road , Banknock, FK4

The subjects lie on the northern side of Kilsyth Road ( A803) on the western outskirts of Banknock, immediately opposite Wellpark Road.

Banknock itself comprises an established village within the central belt of Scotland lying astride the A803 trunk road route approximately 6.5 miles west of Falkirk, 4 miles northeast of Kilsyth and 3 miles northeast of Cumbernauld.

The village is largely residential in nature albeit providing adequate local retail and associated facilities with an ESSO petrol filling station/MOT centre bounding the subjects to the east while the Glenskirlie House & Hotel lie to the west.

The site provides convenient access to the A803 trunk road route and from there to the M80 with junction 7 lying less than 0.5 miles to the east.

The subjects comprise a commercial site/yard extending to approximately 1.05 hectares (2.60 acres) which is generally level and enclosed by a series of security fences.

A number of buildings were historically located on site, all of which have been demolished with the subjects retaining surfaced sections over much of its extent.

While the subjects could suit a range of commercial/industrial uses, the site may also provide scope for residential development, subject to securing all relevant local authority consents/permissions.

In this respect, the site is presently zoned under the adopted Falkirk Council Development Plan as “business areas with potential for redevelopment (JEO3).

All further enquiries in terms of the potential redevelopment of the site should be directed to Falkirk Council Planning Department
