BARRATT & David Wilson Homes North Scotland has announced plans to deliver a new 194-home development in Potterton on the northern edge of Aberdeen.
The proposals include 48 affordable properties.
Having already secured approval for a masterplan of the site from Aberdeenshire Council in June 2023, the housebuilder has now submitted a planning application following several consultation events.
Representing a proposed investment in the region of £50 million, construction is tipped to support approximately 291 direct jobs.
The proposed Potterton development features a combination of one to five-bedroomed homes. The plans include native planting species for biodiversity, access to foraging routes and open space, and footpath links to the surrounding village.
David Palmer, MD at Barratt Homes North Scotland, said, “We are thrilled to have submitted our comprehensive proposals for new homes in Potterton. These proposals follow the approval by Aberdeenshire Council of our masterplan framework for the land to the north-east of Potterton in June last year.
“Through close collaboration with the community, partners, our ecologists and the Barratt design teams, we’ve created a plan for an attractive and thoughtful development where residents can be proud to call home. The proposed new development will offer homes to residents in an area where we know there’s huge demand for new homes and will also indirectly support 532 jobs in the local community.
“Potterton lies just a few miles from our main office, and we have a lot of links with the village. We are excited about this opportunity to be involved in the sustainable growth of the community and to provide new high quality energy-efficient homes.”
