Plans lodged for expansion of Aberdeenshire town

The Co-op
The Co-op

Plans have been tabled for homes and a shop on a patch of land in a fast-growing Aberdeenshire town.

Glasgow-based David Williamson is seeking permission to build seven homes and a Co-Op in a field on Strawberryfield Road in Westhill.

The proposed shop would be near the roundabout at the junction of Straik Road and Broadstraick Road.

The field

Five of the proposed houses would have five bedrooms while the other two would be two-bedroom semi-detached properties. There would be 26 parking spaces, allowing for two at each property and the remaining for the shop.

When Mr Williamson applied for a similar venture last year, residents expressed concern about the proposed greenfield took away from the “beautiful landscape that many moved here for.”

They also raised fears over the impact of additional noise on the “already very busy” Broadstraik Road.

Aberdeenshire Council is yet to make a decision on the plans.

Meanwhile, the authority has also been asked to grant planning permission for four new commercial units on Prospect Road in Westhill.

If approved the units, which would each feature a workshop or warehouse space, a roller door, two-person office and toilets, would in a former car park next to the Tesco petrol station.

Planning permission is also sought for associated yard, parking for 20 cars and landscaping.
