SETTLEMENT:
Throsk
SITE LOCATION:
Bandeath Industrial Estate
STATUS:
Site within Draft Proposed Plan
DRAFT LDP REF:
B20,B21
MIR REFERENCE:
THRS01
OVERALL ASSESSMENT COMMENTS
This large site was submitted as an Expression of Interest for a range of uses including residential. Bandeath
Industrial Estate, which forms part of this site, is being allocated as a Business Site and additional land is also
being safeguarded under Policy 08. Those sites that are considered to be suitable for assessment for
residential proposals are dealt with under THRS02 and THRS03. It is considered that residential development
outwith these areas would lead to the two settlements of Fallin and Throsk coalescing to an unacceptable
degree.
ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT
FLOOD RISK COMMENTS:
WATER QUALITY COMMENTS:
A burn runs through the site and SEPA flood maps
indicate that the eastern margin of the meander loop
may be at risk of flooding from the sea.
Throsk served by septic tank which performs poorly
on occasion - water quality concerns. Bandeath
WWTW has capacity issues and may require major
upgrading work. Water body adjacent to the site:
status-heavily modified with poor ecological potential.
GROUND CONDITIONS COMMENTS:
Contamination may be a problem due to previous uses - military and industrial. The large part of the site to the
north was formerly a Royal Naval Armaments Depot at Bandeath and is dotted with ammunition storage buildings.
Stability may also be an issue due to mining in area. Gas Depot Safety Consultation Zone.
GREENBELT COMMENTS:
GREEN CORRIDOR COMMENTS:
Outwith Green Belt.
Large, mainly greenfield site outwith Green Corridor as
identified in current Development Plan.

See assessments for sites THRS03 and FALL05.
BUILT HERITAGE COMMENTS
BIODIVERSITY COMMENTS:
Bandeath has historic interest but it is not
necessarily important in a national/regional context
as there are other examples of this type of
development available elsewhere. Several
archaeology sites and objects identified throughout
Part of site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Loss of large parts of this site to residential
development may result in biodiversity impacts.
TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT
PUBLIC TRANSPORT COMMENTS:
PUBLIC TRANSPORT MITIGATION POTENTIAL
Due to size of site, bus services would need to enter
the site. If significant development proposed in
locations with poor access, developer would be
required to subsidize transport services for 5+ years
Problem can be addressed
WALKING AND CYCLING COMMENTS
WALKING AND CYCLING MITIGATION POTENTIA
No local facilities. Significant additional vehicle
movements would affect the NCN76 which runs
along the A905. Facilitating the NCN between
Cowie and Fallin would be required.
Problem can be addressed
CAR COMMENTS:
CAR MITIGATION POTENTIAL:
Adequate access could be achieved if roundabout
provided, but large scale development is likely to
have wider environmental issues for Fallin and
Throsk.
Problem can be addressed
SUMMARY TRANSPORT COMMENTS:
Only ok if local facilities could be provided. Also
significant infrastructure and public transport
required.

SETTLEMENT:
Throsk
SITE LOCATION:
Playing field site, western side
of Throsk.
STATUS:
Site does not form part of the
Spatial Strategy
DRAFT LDP REF:
Not applicable
MIR REFERENCE:
THRS02
OVERALL ASSESSMENT COMMENTS
Site is not preferred for residential development. Considered that it should be retained as open space - there is
already a play park on the site and a new community centre has been completed.
ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT
FLOOD RISK COMMENTS:
WATER QUALITY COMMENTS:
Flood risk assessment may be required-watercourse
near site.
Throsk served by septic tank which performs poorly
on occasion - water quality concerns. Bandeath
WWTW has capacity issues and may require major
upgrading work. Water body adjacent to the site:
status-heavily modified with poor ecological potential.
GROUND CONDITIONS COMMENTS:
Environmental health concerns in relation to contaminated land - Formerly mined area and unknown former
agricultural use of the land.
GREENBELT COMMENTS:
GREEN CORRIDOR COMMENTS:
Outwith Green Belt.
Greenfield site outwith the Green Corridor as defined in
current Development Plan.

ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT
TOWNSCAPE FIT COMMENTS:
LANDSCAPE FIT COMMENTS:
The opportunity for a residential frontage onto the
main road has now been lost with the development
of the community centre.
It is not considered that development of this site
would impact adversely on the landscape.
BUILT HERITAGE COMMENTS
BIODIVERSITY COMMENTS:
No issues identified.
Loss of greenfield site may impact on biodiversity.
TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT
PUBLIC TRANSPORT COMMENTS:
PUBLIC TRANSPORT MITIGATION POTENTIAL
On bus route.
WALKING AND CYCLING COMMENTS
WALKING AND CYCLING MITIGATION POTENTIA
Poor walking environment to facilities in Fallin.
CAR COMMENTS:
CAR MITIGATION POTENTIAL:
Access by car may be difficult unless taken from
the industrial estate road and this may require the
creation of a roundabout to serve the estate. Having
another access from Kersie Road would not be
preferred.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT COMMENTS
As outlined in the Throsk Settlement Statement, it is considered that the village should contribute, albeit in a
smaller way than Fallin, to the housing land supply for reasons which are outlined in the Spatial Strategy of the
Draft Proposed Plan. This site is considered to have development potential although there are constraints to be
overcome - Waste Water Treatment Works is primary treatment only. Further discussion is required with SEPA
and Scottish Water to assess the impact development may have on the level of treatment required. Access
issues also require to be addressed. For these reasons, the site has been allocated in Phase 2 of the Plan
(2023-2033).

ENVIRONMENT ASSESSMENT
TOWNSCAPE FIT COMMENTS:
LANDSCAPE FIT COMMENTS:
Throsk has distinctive character - small hamlet with
buildings on one side of road only. Expansion of
settlement in direction and the scale anticipated may
result in loss of current character. New development
should not appear as suburban housing estate.
It is not considered that development of this site
would impact adversely on the landscape.
BUILT HERITAGE COMMENTS
BIODIVERSITY COMMENTS:
No issues identified.
Loss of greenfield site may impact on biodiversity.
TRANSPORTATION ASSESSMENT
PUBLIC TRANSPORT COMMENTS:
PUBLIC TRANSPORT MITIGATION POTENTIAL
On bus route
No problem
WALKING AND CYCLING COMMENTS
WALKING AND CYCLING MITIGATION POTENTIA
Poor walking environment for facilities in Fallin.
Problem cannot be realistically addressed
CAR COMMENTS:
CAR MITIGATION POTENTIAL:
Access into site would be off an industrial estate
road. Increased movements off A905 would require
a roundabout.
Problem can be addressed
SUMMARY TRANSPORT COMMENTS:
Lack of local facilities with the exception of
employment raises questions over sustainability of
site.
