Search on for new developer as 160-home Newburgh masterplan approved
A masterplan for 160 new homes on the outskirts of Newburgh, which was initially drawn up by stricken housebuilder Stewart Milne Homes, has been approved.
The 11-hectare site north of School Road is allocated for around 160 homes in the new Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan.
The homes would be built alongside the B9000 road, heading into the village from the A90 Blackdog to Ellon Road from the west.
A mix of one to five-bedroom homes would be built next to the St Clair development on the outskirts, across the road from recently completed Stewart Milne homes at Sinclair Park. They would be built in phases, 40 to 60 homes at a time.
Stewart Milne Homes had drawn up the plans before it collapsed into administration earlier this month.
Property consultant Ryden is now flying the flag for the project, describing the masterplan as a chance to create an “attractive gateway” into Newburgh.
