Plans for the redevelopment of the site of the former Aberdeen City Council headquarters have won the backing of council officials.

Developers Muse plan to build a hotel and office complex on the city centre site following the demolition of St Nicholas house.

The £107 million plan also includes building shops and restaurants.



A report to be debated by councillors next Wednesday recommends they give the scheme the go-ahead.

Concerns have been raised over the impact on nearby landmarks. More than 1300 people have signed up to a campaign to have plans for the development scrapped.

The site was vacated by council staff in 2011 when they moved to the newly-refurbished Marischal College building in the city centre.
