Consultation launched over plans for 99 council homes in Aberdeen

A public consultation has started into plans to build 99 new council homes in the Kincorth area of Aberdeen.

The consultation is being held from the proposal of application notice submitted to Aberdeen City Council in July, and is being held online due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The Craighill site development is one of several sites across Aberdeen that form part of the wider Aberdeen City Council Housing Programme 2020, aiming to address a long-term shortage of affordable social rented housing in the city.

A total of 99 homes of varying size and type would be built at the site.

A spokesperson for the council said: "The proposal aspires to create a new pedestrian focussed neighbourhood with placemaking at the heart of the design ethos.

"The aim is for the newly formed residential streets to provide an environment in which people can safely interact with each other and take pleasure in their surroundings.

"The combination of buildings, street and open space should create local identity and positively contribute to the character of the community.

"The vision of the Aberdeen City Council Housing Programme is to create sustainable integrated communities and places, delivering affordable homes designed for life, which meet citizens’ current and changing needs, supporting the wellbeing and resilience of our tenants."

The consultation - which can be viewed HERE - runs until December 2.
