Aberdeenshire property developer Colaren Homes has secured permission for a new office development near Fraserburgh. The developer had already secured permission for a quarry office at Burnthills Farm, two miles west of Fraserburgh, which would have housed two to three staff members.

Planning permission in principle has been granted for the formation of an Aberdeenshire business park. Members of Aberdeenshire Council’s Buchan Area Committee this week considered plans for the Northwoods Eco Business Park on the northern boundary of Mintlaw.

Plans have been approved for 120 homes on the outskirts of Fraserburgh, though with fewer affordable homes included than initially planned. Colaren Homes has entered into discussions with Aberdeenshire Council to lay the framework for an eventual 600-home expansion to the south of the town.
