According to the online planning documents the development of 74 two-storey dwellinghouses will comprise of a mix of detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses.
Restaurant signage
Mitchells and Butlers lodged an application with Falkirk Council on September 21 looking for permission to display “illuminated and non-illuminated advertisements” at The Bruce, Glenbervie, Larbert.
The firm also lodged another application on August 18, looking for the go ahead to alter the restaurant, adding new cladding, entrance doors, paving, sculpture, a jumbrella, external lighting, AC condensers and kitchen ventilation.
Both applications were granted by council planners on Friday, October 30.
The online planning documents seem to point to a name change for The Bruce, with mock ups of multiple signs stating “Miller and Carter Steakhouse” at the location replacing “‘The Bruce” signage which is currently in place.
