Summary of operations to be carried out:
- To carry out operations to provide flood defence walls at or in the vicinity of Allanvale Road, Cornton Road and Fountain Road, Bridge of Allan; and
- To carry out operations to provide flood defence bunds at or in the vicinity of Inverallan Road and the adjacent factory site (currently UCP Guala Enclosures).
The Council considers the following to be the likely benefits of the proposed Scheme which will be derived from the carrying out of the above operations:
• The mitigation of the effects of flooding from the Allan Water to residential, community and business properties on the left hand bank of the Allan Water in Bridge of Allan; and.
• The mitigation of the effects of flooding associated with the flood defence wall on the left hand bank from the Allan Water to residential, community, and business properties on the right hand bank of the Allan Water in Bridge of Allan.
Stirling Council has determined the proposed scheme is not required to be subject to an environmental impact assessment. Screening opinions have been obtained from relevant consultative bodies ( NatureScot, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and Scottish Water) who confirm an environmental impact assessment is not required.
