Scottish ministers have refused plans for a controversial new £20million retail development for Stirling, including a new Asda superstore.
In January Ramoyle Developments Ltd were granted permission for the new development at Crookbridge, south of the Wickes DIY store, including offices, retail, drive-thru restaurant, car showroom and car parking.
The developers claimed it would net 250 full-time equivalent jobs and potentially as many as 500-600 including construction jobs.
