Commenting on the proposals, Rory Stephens of Cruden Homes said:

“We are delighted to present these exciting proposals for consultation with the local community. This ambitious program regenerates the current brownfield site, providing much needed sustainable housing, including affordable housing, as well as commercial supply on the ground floor.

“We look forward to hearing the views of the community, which will allow us to further shape and refine our proposals for the site, and we urge those in a position to do so to participate.”
