Parklands View LLP lodged an application in 2019 to convert the site on Claymore Drive into 119 new homes, of which 30 will be affordable.

A detailed plan of the residential development will come at a later date but indicative plans from Space Solutions show it could have a central “main square” area featuring a small community store and coffee shop.

Space could also be set aside for potential new dental and medical practices as well as play parks and a community growing area.

Parklands View LLP estimate that the project will cost around £20m to construct and would take two-and-a-half years to complete.

It is also expected to create 40 construction jobs per year.

Silverburn House was demolished in 2019 after it was sold to Parklands View for £1 million.

The offices became vacant the previous year after staff from Baker Hughes moved to new premises in Dyce.

A supporting statement by Aurora Planning said the proposed site was “ideally placed to provide an environment for sustainable and healthy lifestyles”.

It said the development would see the creation of a “sustainable new community with unique identity”.
