Location
South Bridge Street is located at the eastern end of Earls Road opposite the entrance
to the Port of Grangemouth. With good connections to the Port of Grangemouth, Forth
Clyde Way, Earls Road (link to Junction 6) and the A904 the site is well located
for users seeking close access to the port.
Size
The site is 2.9 ha in size with frontage to the Forth Clyde Way and Earls Road.
Ownership
Falkirk Council (with some minor but important smaller land holding associated with
former properties).
Development/Planning Status
The site is designated in the Local Plan and in the draft Local Development Plan
as an economic development site.
Available Financial Assistance
The site is located in an area which eligible projects may attract 15%-35% Regional
Selective Assistance funding. Further information on eligibility of RSA funding
support can be provided.
TIF Supported Enabling Works
The TIF project can provide funds to address enabling infrastructure associated with
flood mitigation; road access; utility infrastructure and site preparation.
Local Network Infrastructure
South Bridge Street is well served by the local road network with the major access
off the Earls Road roundabout (McCafferty Way). This offers high quality accessibility
and potential for multiple points of entry or segregation of HGV and vehicular access.
Access
No internal access infrastructure exists and upgrading of the existing access and
servicing will be required for a multi-user site or sub-division of the site and
any access works will be eligible for support through the TIF.
