Green Light for Housing Scheme

A £1billion scheme for a new Aberdeenshire town could go ahead by next year.

The scheme proposes 9,000 new homes in the North-East which would be built in seven neighbourhoods over the next 11 years.

The Kincardinshire and Mearns area committee approved plans for the Chapleston of Elsick development.

Chapelton will include business and industrial deveopments and could generate 8,200 jobs.

The new settlement will offer opportunities to integrate with and support existing local communities such as Portlethen.

The entire project is being overseen by American urban architect Andrés Duany.
