A former betting shop in Stirling city centre could become a shop and takeaway, if a new plan is approved.
Stirling International Food and Wine hopes to turn the empty Betfred unit on Barnton Street into a convenience store that also serves hot food.
The application was submitted by Helix Architecture Studio on behalf of Sanjay Kumar.
Betfred, which was previously a Ladbrokes, operated as a betting shop for more than a decade.
If the scheme is approved, there would be internal layout alterations to allow for shelves and a chilled display area.
The shopfront would also see upgrades to glazing and access.
A “small scale” hot food preparation area with closed-appliance cooking only and hot display units is also proposed.
The application says all hot food would be pre-cooked and reheated onsite using a sealed cooking appliance.
The supporting statement reads: “The unit lies within Stirling city centre and benefits from high visibility, strong footfall, and excellent public transport connectivity.
“The proposal will activate a currently vacant premises, support town centre activity, and provide accessible, small-scale retail and takeaway food service in line with the town centre’s role and function.”
Stirling Council will determine the planning application.
