CALA Homes has submitted a planning application for a proposed residential development within the grounds of Meldrum House Hotel & Golf Club, Oldmeldrum.

Developed in conjunction with Meldrum House Estate, the proposal for 50 new properties will now be considered by Aberdeenshire Council.

Designed to ensure the properties are in keeping with and complement the picturesque setting of Meldrum House Hotel & Golf Course, the development will comprise a mix of four and five-bedroom detached homes.

Prior to plans being submitted, CALA held a community consultation event and has closely liaised with the hotel and golf club, along with its members, to ensure the proposals were sympathetic to the surrounding area and would be an attractive addition to the local community.

Mike Naysmith, managing director of CALA Homes (North), said: “We are delighted to be moving forward with plans for this truly unique development at Meldrum House.

“Each aspect has been carefully crafted in collaboration with Meldrum House Estate to ensure the homes enhance the area while appealing to a range of homebuyers. Our extensive experience in the north-east market, and an outstanding reputation for the careful creation of new communities, including homes that are appropriate and complementary to the surrounding area, makes Meldrum House Estate and CALA the perfect fit.

“We look forward to releasing our exciting plans for Meldrum House as they move forward.”

CALA anticipates a planning determination in spring 2018.
