The site lies within an area zoned as H1 (Residential Use) within the Aberdeen Local Development Plan and furthermore, just to the west of the west-end office area (B13) which is defined as the outer city in terms of the Parking Standards.

Most of the properties in the area began life as private dwellings but have since been converted to commercial space. In recent years a number of these properties have received major refurbishments returning the granite villas to their former glory whilst providing 21st century accommodation to the rear.
