The firm has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to Aberdeen City Council ahead of a public consultation event next month.

A full planning application will be lodged following the consultation.

A spokeswoman from Stewart Milne Homes told the Evening Express: “A planning application will be submitted in due course, following this consultation, which is in line with our open approach to planning.

“We are still at the early stages of the planning process and welcome feedback from members of the community.

“As part of this process, and is standard in planning procedures, our team will meet with interested parties and relevant stakeholders to demonstrate our vision in further enhancing the existing area.”

A pre-application consultation will take place at Altens Community Centre on Thursday August 22 between 2pm and 8pm.

A report prepared by Aberdeen-based architect Norr said: “This event will offer the public an opportunity to drop in and view the proposals for the development and make comments on the proposals.

“Representatives from the design team will be available to answer questions on the proposals and record any comments.

“To assist in this process every member of the public attending will be offered a form on which to provide their comments on the proposals.”
