Aberdeen City Council greenlights 19 new self-build homes.

Exciting News for Self-Build Enthusiasts in Aberdeen!
Aberdeen developers John Adam and Son have received the green light from Aberdeen City Council to demolish a rundown farmhouse and sheds, paving the way for the construction of 19 self-build homes. This development is set to transform the Peterculter site, conveniently located just off the A93 route leading to Royal Deeside.
What makes these homes truly unique is their self-build status, allowing aspiring homeowners to embark on building their dream property without the hassle of land acquisition or seeking planning permission from the council.
The approval for the project, located on Culter House Road, was granted unanimously by Aberdeen City Council. This marks a significant milestone after previous plans for a housing development on the Strawberry Grange site were rejected several years ago due to concerns about the area’s housing needs.
The detailed planning documents have outlined a construction plan that includes a central cul-de-sac with roads branching off to serve individual plots. The surrounding woodland to the north and south will be preserved with a designated “buffer zone” around the plots, maintaining the natural beauty of the area as reported by The Press and Journal.
Developers had to make several adjustments to the initial plans to align them with the council’s expectations. Notably, the concept of creating a “gated community” was scrapped to better fit the vision for the development.
Overall, this exciting project promises to offer a unique opportunity for self-build enthusiasts to turn their housing dreams into reality in the beautiful surroundings of Aberdeen. Stay tuned for more updates as construction progresses!
