Several well-known buildings in and around Stirling are set to be demolished.
A once popular pub, shops and a Victorian villa are all in line to be knocked down and replaced.
Here are the buildings you could soon see disappear across the city and its surroundings.
West End Bar
A former Stirling city centre pub will be reduced to rubble, as plans for student flats on the site are being considered for approval.
The derelict Lower Bridge Street property was once known as Jackie’s Bar and the West End Bar.
PCM Property Investment’s building warrant to knock down the eyesore has been given the go ahead.
The firm is awaiting a decision from Stirling Council on its plan to build a four-storey building in its place, with 18 bedrooms for students.
Beefeater
The Forthside Way branch of Premier Inn has asked the local authority for permission to demolish part of its Beefeater restaurant.
The company hopes to build additional guest accommodation in its place.
Beefeater shut to the wider public in July 2024, but still serves breakfast to hotel guests.
If plans are greenlit, a new restaurant and a bedroom block containing 35 rooms would be built.
A further extension of 80 bedrooms is also proposed.
Stirling Council is currently considering the plans.
Bridge of Allan Co-op
Bridge of Allan is in line for a new Co-op, with the current store approved to be demolished.
Consent to flatten the town’s existing Fountain Road supermarket and erect a new two-storey shop was granted in 2021.
In March this year, the retailer asked Stirling Council to approve plans for a temporary store while works get underway.
The demolition and work to build the new two-storey shop is expected to take up to 40 weeks.
Johal Convenience Store
A rotting Causewayhead shop will be demolished to make way for housing.
Once flattened, two houses – with four and five bedrooms – will be erected in place of the former Johal Convenience Store.
A similar application was refused in 2020.
Now the plans, which include space for car parking, are going ahead.
Woodside in Bridge of Allan
A ruined Victorian house in Bridge of Allan is to be demolished for flats.
The first floor and other areas of Woodside, at 105 Henderson Street, are thought to have collapsed.
Permission to flatten the eyesore was given in November 2024.
Plans to build 14 new flats on the spot, split between two villas, were greenlit in 2023.
The property next door, 103 Henderson Street and the former Ivy Hotel, is also set to become flats in the future.
Precast
Plean Precast, based at Springkerse Industrial Estate, holds permission to demolish all of its buildings.
The industrial materials provider says the “aged” buildings in question are “no longer suitable for modern operational requirements”.
The proposal is for around 14 structures to be knocked down, in order to make space for future redevelopment of the site.
Former Prudential building
The former Prudential Insurance headquarters is to be razed as it is no longer “fit for purpose”.
A redevelopment of the Craigforth Campus was approved by Stirling Council last year.
Ambassador LB Holdings LLP has plans for housing, a nursery, a hotel, a restaurant or pub, a gym, and a retail or community space.
There will also be a new three-storey office block north of the main redevelopment area.
