Murray tennis centre plan near Dunblane rejected

Councillors in Stirling have rejected plans for a controversial sports and housing development near Dunblane. The greenbelt development was being promoted by Judy Murray in the face of strong local opposition. Planning officers at the council had earlier recommended that the Park of Keir application be refused. Councillors said they had decided to reject the bid after carefully considering the arguments for and against the project. The proposed development, between Dunblane and Bridge of Allan, would have included tennis and golf facilities along with a visitor centre and museum, all set in a new country park.
