It is currently an area of open land and woodland. The woodland is identified as ‘Nearly-native woodland’ in the Native Woodland Survey of Scotland.“The site is allocated for housing development within the Adopted Stirling Council Local Development Plan (Site Specific Policy H098 Menzies Terrace designated for 40 residential units).“Full planning permission is sought for the erection of 38 dwelling houses (including the formation of the access, landscaping and associated works), with 27 private sale houses and 11 affordable units.

four bed, three bed and two bed properties are proposed, including bungalow, semi-detached, detached, terraced and cottage flat houses.
