These are some of the major developments which could change the face of the north-east over the next 25 years.
Double the 36,000 new houses planned for the Aberdeenshire countryside have been proposed by developers.
Tens of thousands of homes, dozens of schools, leisure centres, supermarkets and business parks are among the designs which could become part of the landscape.
It marks the beginning of a long process to create the next local development plan, which determines which land in each of Aberdeenshire’s settlements will be allocated for residential, commercial or retail development.
Community, education or health centres are a common feature in many of the larger proposals, with developers aware that plans for blocks of housing on their own are unlikely to be accepted.
It does not mean that all of the proposals, ranging in size from entire new villages to single homes, will be picked for house-builders or individuals to apply for planning permission in the future, but they will all be considered.
Past local plans have looked only five or 10 years ahead and have come under fire for not providing the infrastructure needed for residential developments.
The new structure plan is for 25 years, a move expected to provide a more cohesive building programme.
Each of Aberdeenshire’s six council areas could face dramatic changes if even half the proposed developments are adopted.
Two new villages are among the most dramatic schemes put forward.
Bancon Developments hopes to convert land at Clinterty, near Blackburn, which is used as an authorised campsite for travellers and by the Scottish Agricultural College, into a new settlement of nearly 3,000 homes.
Mearns councillor Paul Melling said: “I am just rather concerned that the quantity of houses allocated around the shire would just screw up our infrastructure.
“I don't want to see us go down that route again, we have done that once and can see what a mess we got into.
“We have a golden opportunity here to be very futuristic, we have to have a big vision.
“We need to have fruitful discussions to see how best we and the developers can work together for the benefit of the whole city and shire.”
Deeside could also be in line for a new settlement near Drumoak, which developer Chap Homes has named Park Village.
A former sand and gravel quarry would be transformed into a 2,000-strong village with a primary school, shops and an area for employment use.
Aberdeen city and shire councils have joined forces to plan for 72,000 new homes across the north-east by 2030 as part of the new structure plan being drafted with each local authority area seeing an equal split of the developments.
Two areas have attracted the most interest - the Huntly-Laurencekirk corridor with its strong rail and road transport links and the Aberdeen-Peterhead corridor with “strategic assets” like its ports and the site of Donald Trump’s proposed development.
The Kincardineshire Investment Company hopes the proximity of Laurencekirk with the A90 trunk road and the imminent reopening of its railway station will help to secure plans for 1,500 houses and a hotel.
Major developments could be in store for Ellon - Scotia Homes has proposed 2,200 properties at Cromleybank and 800 at Esslemont with a further 400 properties near Belhelvie.
Rupert Lumsden, owner of Banchory and Leggart Estates at Banchory-Devenick announced his hope for 3,000 houses and a business park on the estate in October.
The £700million proposal includes a country park on the land between the South Deeside Road and the Charleston junction of the A90 road.
A country park also features in plans for a £200million residential development of 1,000 houses at the south of Stonehaven.
The joint plans of Bancon Developments, Stewart Milne Homes and Dunecht Estates includes a supermarket, healthcare centre and primary school.
Garioch was the most attractive area for developers, receiving 166 proposals. In Inverurie alone developers have their sights set on adding housing, commercial facilities and offices to around 1,130 acres of land, including an extension of the town centre and the Thainstone Business Centre.
But Elsick, near Newtonhill, faces the biggest increase with plans for 6,000 homes, four primary schools and an academy put forward by Elsick Development Co Ltd.
Nearly 1,000 houses could be built around Mintlaw under two separate proposals which include a nursing home and sheltered housing complex. Turriff could expand by 600 homes at two sites with developer James Ironside also planning a new roundabout and bypass.
Aberdeenshire Council has released details of each proposal on its website, an unprecedented step so early in the development plan process.
It will be the first time that people can see the majority of the plans, as most developers decline to disclose their ideas to the public in advance.
Harry McNab, project director of the Stonehaven South proposal which announced its plans early, said: “The development partners made a commitment at the outset to consult on the proposals and to get community involvement in the project.
“Already a number of constructive suggestions from members of the community have been taken on board.”
Peter Argyle, chairman of the infrastructure services committee, said it was important that members of the public were involved in the process early so potential problems could be avoided at a later stage.
“What we are really seeking to do is to get as close to a consensus as we possibly can and get everyone, the development industry, landowners, councillors and communities, talking.
“After all, this Local Plan takes us forward for the next 25 years. It is better if people know what is happening. It works better if there are no surprises. That will be a big step forward.”
Ellon councillor Debra Storr, too, emphasised the importance of public engagement
She said: “Most people think a local plan is a little bit academic and it might not happen.
“But this is the point in the whole process where it is important for people to object.
“When the planning application comes in for the field opposite your house, it is too late to object.”
She added: “The development plan used to look over a five-year period or over a ten-year period. There is a more structured approach to keeping a longer-term view. The problem of a too-long period is that things change. There is a fine balance.”
The plans will now go through a three-pronged process with scrutiny from council planning officers and councillors as well as a “very effective and meaningful consultation” with north-east communities to find out their views.
Planning policy team leader Piers Blaxter, said: “The discussion needs to take place between developers and communities and at this stage the planning service can only act as a middleman in that conversation.
“It is much better to encourage a clear dialogue between the parties most affected by proposals.”
The 700-strong wish list will not be available in any of the council’s planning offices and can only be accessed online.
Aberdeen City Council is following in the footsteps of its shire neighbour and is developing its own local plan.
Developers have until March to submit their proposals for the city.
A spokesman confirmed that details would be made public, but could not specify if each proposal would be posted online.
