Plans for 200 new homes in a north-east town will be discussed by councillors next week.
The proposals for the Hallgreen Park development – on farmland to the south of Inverbervie – will go before Aberdeenshire Council’s Kincardine and Mearns area committee on Tuesday.
The plans have been drawn up by Peterkin Homes in collaboration with architects A B Roger and Young and Suller and Clark planning consultants.
The 42-acre site would include 50 affordable homes and be developed in two phases.
Councillors are being asked to agree the masterplan for the project, which includes a woodland walk area, an extension of an existing play park nearby, a grass pitch and allotments.
The site was included in Aberdeenshire Council’s 2012 local development plan.
A local authority spokesman said: “The developer intends to provide a wide range of house types, from large detached family homes to smaller semi-detached and terraced houses and flats.”
