In site specific terms Part S4.R1 – Kirkintilloch Gateway is a masterplan for the mixed use development of the landholding and requires to be reviewed in detail. The LDP Policy 15 – Business and Employment uses for Woodilee Industrial Estate covers the landholding as does Policy 13 – Green Network Nodes and Habitat Links partially, in closest proximity to the Kirkintilloch Link Road (A806). It should also be noted that Aldi secured planning permission to develop a Use Class One foodstore at Woodilee on 25th May 2023 (ref : TP/ED/21/0465) of 1820Msq (gross). This development will take access from the south, McGavigans Road, into the site (0.97Ha) and will also provide 93 car parking spaces, associated landscaping and pedestrian access. It is considered that other complimentary planning uses can be considered within the remaining landholdings, creating a sustainable local centre at Woodilee.
