Ashfield prepares Scottish site

Scottish-flag-THUMB.gifAshfield Land has bought a 64-acre site at Blackdog, five miles north of Aberdeen, for an £80m mixed-use development.

The 600,000 sq ft scheme will include up to 400,000 sq ft of business space and 200,00 sq ft of retail and leisure.

A revised masterplan for the site is currently being developed in partnership with Kirkwood Homes, which will take forward the adjacent site, which is allocated for 600 homes.

A proposal of application notice has been issued and a planning application will be submitted in early 2016.

Steven McGarva, director at Ashfield Land, said: “We look forward to working in partnership with Kirkwood, the local authority and other stakeholders to deliver a high-quality lifestyle, leisure and, ultimately, a global business location in Aberdeenshire within Europe’s largest offshore oil and gas cluster.

“Scotland is an area of key strategic importance for Ashfield and this is one of several major developments we are currently working on.”
