Update Read the Planning Panel Report (see link below). It says..."The application is recommended for approval,... despite the site falling within an "area of significant protection" and not being within an "Area Of Search" as defined by Stirling Council's Supplementary Guidance for Renewable Energy Developments (Wind Turbines)"
An application for 2 large wind turbines close to Dunblane is being recommended for approval by the Council's Planning officers. The site is just off the Auchinlay Road, overlooking Ashfield. The application is to go to the Planning and Regulation Panel on 24th February 2015.

We are running out of copies of Dunblane’s Green Travel Maps
Many thanks to all those who completed our Dunblane Map survey; so many positive comments showed a high demand and wide variety of use and benefits for locals of all ages, visitors and businesses. So funding applications are sent out; to update the maps, print 10,000 Green Travel Maps, renew the online licence, and perhaps develop a business sheet version. See full report here.
The Council wants to move Dunblane's registrar services from the Burgh Chambers to Dunblane Library.

A spatial overview of Dunblane Town Centre
Each year through the Braes of Doune Community Benefit, grant funding of around £14,500 is given by the joint owners of the Windfarm , Greencoat UK Wind PLC and Hermes Infrastructure, to local community groups in the Dunblane area.
Nominees from Dunblane Community Council and Dunblane Development Trust join together to form the Dunblane Windfarm Committee and this committee receives applications from groups active in our local communities and makes recommendations on how best to distribute the funds available.
This year, 13 groups were helped over a broad range of activities including the Dunblane Fling, Dunblane Soccer Club , Dunblane Preschool Play Association, Dunblane in Bloom, Dunblane Rangers and Rainbows and Victoria Hall. It is hoped that more groups local to the Dunblane area will continue to apply for financial help. Applications are taken late Summer each year, and full details of how to apply are available at Dunblane Development Trust
The photo shows members of the Committee, successful recipients with Jimmy Hansson and Emma Lewis representing the Windfarm owners.
