At the hearing on Tuesday 29 August, members of the Planning and Regulation Panel will discuss Network Rail’s proposals to replace the bridge, as part of the electrification of the Stirling area rail network.
The development proposal represents the complete replacement of the existing bridge in order to meet the clearance distances required for the electrification of the railway line, and to address a number of defects identified with the existing structure.
The Panel will only be considering the application to replace the bridge at this meeting, in line with planning policy and legislation.
The Panel will not be making any decisions on the closure of Kerse Road to accommodate the proposed works. Any closure would have to be considered at a future date only if the planning application for the bridge replacement is approved.
