Under the current Falkirk Local Development Plan 2, adopted in August 2020, the site is zoned for Green Belt land under Policy PE 15. Previously, the site was safeguarded for the expansion of the adjacent Avondale Landfill, but was removed in the last adopted LDP in favour of countryside and green corridor. Alternative options for the site can be considered in the call for sites in2025. Several representations have been made already towards the upcoming LDP promoting the site for general waste processing, energy production and storage. Further alternatives could be considered by a purchaser.
