The colliery at Saline closed in 1986, leaving 181 hectares of land for potential development.
Comrie Development Company (CDC) is proposing a new major planning permission in Principle mixed-use development which includes leisure and tourism, employment, retail, retirement homes, residential, renewable energy, open space, landscape works, paths and associated works on land located to the north-west of the village of Comrie, north of Blairhall and north and adjacent to the A907.
It isn’t the first major development bid on the site - in 2014, the colliery was the subject of a proposal to build 77 homes, but it ended when the company behind went into liquidation.
