Planning Application for the site of the former Braeside Primary School

Saturday, November 05, 2022 8

A Planning application has been submitted to Aberdeen City Council on behalf of Malcolm Allan Housebuilders Ltd in support of an application for planning permission for a residential development for 30 affordable houses with a new access road and open space at the Former Braeside Primary School, Braeside Place, Aberdeen.

The proposal is for a residential development of 30 affordable homes for Grampian Housing Association.


The housing will be made up of a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom semi-detached and terraced houses and includes 5 wheelchair accessible homes.

The full details of the planning application and the various reports and documents can be found by visiting

    If they’re affordable homes what are they priced at and what is affordable

    Grampian Housing Association do not sell homes, they will be for social rents.

    How are so many homes aloud to built ?
    Why do we need that many affordable houses when there are so many at Countesswells development??

    And why is such a big development permitted when the original primary school was restricted in size because of the water pipes that run through the site.??

    These are family homes, Airyhall Nursery and Primary School are already at capacity so this beggars belief. Does the council not look into the wider picture prior to allowing these developments to commence. Shocking decision.

    1) these houses are not in keeping with the other houses in the immediate area, the majority of which are 1.5 storey.
    2) the school that was demolished was single storey, nothing above single storey should be built, without it having a detrimental impact on local residents. If housing is the only option, bungalows, possibly designed for the elderly would be of more benefit.
    3) the local school is already at maximum capacity, where are 30+ new children to the area expected to go.
    4) the local Dr Surgery on Seafield Rd already struggles to give registered patients an appointment, despite a Drs surgery being mentioned in the newspaper article, the surgery on Seafield Rd won't be able to cope. The medical practice beside the library is not a functional GP surgery, but a specific clinic, at the moment for COVID and flu vaccinations.

    Brilliant news about the development. It’s so nice to see affordable homes for lower income families being placed in nicer areas. This means that they can also live in a safer community and enjoy the same benefits as those on joint or higher incomes. The council tax banding in craigiebuckler and airyhall is sky high and many people struggle. As someone raised in Airyhall and Cults I strongly support this although I know there will be many set in their ways who believe people of a social status shouldn’t mingle with middle class families. Hope the council take this bias into consideration.

      I feel so sad to read this comment. That someone would assume that any objections I may have to these homes would be out of petty mindedness or snobbery.
      Of course, families should have affordable homes – this should go without saying. Objections may be from other points of views that you have not taken into consideration – for example the way the houses have been crammed on to the site, in an area that is already stretched for school places/Dr/dentists etc
      It should be that affordable homes take up 25% of new developments – and rightly so – as you point out there should be a mix of backgrounds in any one area.
      But, may I point out to you, that in this case, the developer has chosen to offset 25% affordable housing from other sites and place 100% affordables on this site.
      The old Tree Tops Hotel site now has 0% affordable housing on the planning applications – one can only assume the reason behind this being so they can sell houses on that site as a premium/luxury development – and that is where the “middle class snobbery” can be seen.

    Out of interest, whilst I take on board your comments and agree to certain aspects, do you currently reside in the Braeside area?
