 See here for more details

Aberdeen City Council is launching public consultations on the potential release of land to provide more family and affordable homes in the city.

The 10-week consultation period will focus on eight sites earmarked in the Aberdeen Local Plan, as modified, for new homes in the period 2006-2010.

Feedback from the consultations will be the subject of a report to city councillors. They will then vote on whether to allow residential development on the sites in principle, subject to the consideration of detailed matters arising during the planning process.

That appears to be the major message from local residents who have taken part in the Portlethen Corridor Capacity Study.
