Shepherd said the United Free church with additional hall at 76 Drysdale Street in Alloa town center was “suitable for alternative use, subject to planning permission”.
He added: “The surrounding area is predominantly residential, although nearby Alloa town center offers a wide mix of commercial occupiers. The area is well served by public transport links with a number of bus stops nearby, as well as Alloa railway station.
“The detached church, which is mainly built of traditional stone, has a rear extension which was previously used as a church hall. It provides an open plan worship area on the ground floor, with a full gallery located on the first floor. To the rear are administrative offices, an open plan church hall, kitchen and toilet facilities.”
