The eight homes have been designed by Mackie Ramsay Taylor Architects for people who rely on wheelchairs and would be adaptable to ensure they are suitable to meet residents’ needs.

An office would also be built alongside the homes on Stoneywood Road to provide on-site care.

All of the properties will have two bedrooms and a small private garden area.

The former Stoneywood School was constructed in 1865 but closed its doors to pupils for the last time in June 2018.

Youngsters moved to the replacement modern fit-for-purpose facility on Greenburn Road in August 2018.

The new £13 million school was built on the five-acre grounds of the former Bankhead Academy.
