Housebuilder unveils plan for homes at former Cordyce School site

Up to 100 homes could be built on the former Cordyce School site.
Up to 100 homes could be built on the former Cordyce School site.

Residents will get the chance to voice their views on plans to build up to 100 homes on the site of the former Cordyce School next week.

David Wilson Homes will host a public consultation at Dyce Community Centre on Wednesday.

While plans are still in the early stages, any feedback could help to shape the future development.

Members of the design team will be on hand to answer any questions and locals are being urged to give their views.

The developer purchased the site, located just off Riverside Drive, from Aberdeen City Council in February.

Cordyce School (pictured in 2020) was destroyed by two fires after it closed its doors to pupils for good

Former school was a target for vandals

Cordyce School closed to pupils in 2017 but was shut for good back in 2018.

Before the closure it provided secondary education for pupils with additional support needs.

The vacant building was destroyed by a fire in November 2017 after vandals attacked just months after it closed.

It was set ablaze for a second time in 2020 and the buildings were demolished shortly after.

Bids made for fitness village and garden centre

In the proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2020, part of the site had been considered “suitable” for a number of uses including housing, a garden centre, and health and fitness village.

In 2018 Aberdeen boxer Lee McAllister revealed his plan to take on the site.

The boxing champion, also known as the Aberdeen Assassin, wanted to build a £10 million health and fitness village with a gym, swimming pool and football pitches.

He had hoped the new facility could help the rehabilitation of those with disabilities, cancer, alcoholism or who are homeless.

And another bid for the site was made by Parkhill Garden Centre.

Parkhill bosses had planned to build a new garden centre with community allotments and demonstration areas.

But both plans were refused by the council.

When will the consultation take place?

The site was later split in two and put on the open market in April 2021.

The council said a “number of noted interests” were received.

And now the proposed major residential development by David Wilson Homes has been announced.

The public consultation in Dyce will run from 3-7pm.

A dedicated website has also been created for locals to check out the exhibition materials.
