  • Aberdeen City Local Development Plan Main Issues Report - April 2019 Cults,Bieldside and Milltimber Community Council Responses to Questions
    Aberdeen City Local Development Plan Main Issues Report - April 2019 Cults,Bieldside and Milltimber Community Council Responses To Questions 1. Do you agree with the preferred housing sites? Yes. In particular we support the proposed refusal of most of the further housing development proposals in Lower Deeside until the existing approved developments are closer to completion and the better infrastructure need to support further development has been implemented. We recommend that the site Milltimber South B0940, allocated for development by the Scottish Reporter in current LDP, be rezoned to greenbelt and part of the greenspace network. Are there any other sites suitable for housing? We offer conditional support for the proposed retirement community development between the North Deeside Road and Inchgarth Road, west of Pitfodels Station Rd., subject to the provision of the much needed link road enabling bus transport between the North Deeside Road and Inchgarth Road and increased support for the local medical services. 2. Is there a need for us to identify any further housing allowance or sites for the period beyond 2032? No. There are sufficient plans and approvals in place for this cycle of planning. Building progress on the approved sites should be monitored to see the pace of development justifies additional sites being included in the next LDP. 3. Are there any further brownfield sites or other opportunities which would be suitable for re development? No. 4. Do you have any comments on these sites for NHS? Preference should be given to use of brownfield sites rather than open space. If open space is to be used, it should be replaced by an alternative site which should be appealing to the public.
