Chris Grinyer, managing partner at Shepherd in Aberdeen, said: “The site is identified within the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2017 and is within an H1 Residential area. The policy for such areas states proposals for new residential development will be approved in principle, subject to a number of criteria.
“Non-residential uses may be permitted, providing they can be demonstrated they are complementary to residential use and will not cause conflict or any nuisance to the enjoyment of existing residential amenity. The site is located within a conservation area. Interested parties should make their own enquiries to the Planning Department of Aberdeen City Council in relation to their proposals.”
