Milton Road, Kirkintilloch
Forrest acquired the former bus station depot from First Group, a site extending to approximately 4 acres. Having previously obtained outline consent (subject to S75 Agreement) for a DIY store, offices and a restaurant in 2006, Forrest recently submitted a Planning in Principle Application for a 3-phase development, comprising a 17,500 sq ft supermarket, Class III restaurant and 11,500 sq ft of offices and business units.
The application will regenerate a brownfield site adjacent to the town centre, whilst providing additional employment for the Kirkintilloch area.
The application is currently being determined by East Dunbartonshire Council and, if approved, work shall commence on site in Summer 2011.
