Application progress
This application is under consideration - no decision has been issued yet. Plota predicted a decision soon after comments close on 11 May 2026; it is now day 262. The consultation period closed on 11 May 2026.
Planning committee
Decided by Aberdeenshire Garioch Area Committee on 23 Jun 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised granting permission because the layout, housing mix, open space, infrastructure and biodiversity measures were acceptable, despite the primary-school land departure.
- Residents objected on traffic, flooding, services, ecology, open space, housing need and infrastructure grounds; consultees generally raised no objection.
- The committee agreed delegated approval, accepted the development-plan departure and requested a letter to NHS Grampian about GP service pressures.
