Controversial plans to bulldoze a 19th-century Aberdeen school and build 62 new homes will be heard by city councillors this week.
Barratt Homes previously lodged a proposal of application notice for the former Victoria Road Primary School in Torry.
Opened in 1873 and extended in 1905, the original block is on the northern part of the site and the more recent one on the south, with the two linked by a corridor.
The school was closed by the previous Liberal Democrat-SNP council administration amid uproar in 2008.
Last October, councillors voted by 19-14 to have the granite school demolished to make way for a new development.
The decision was made despite a campaign by community members to save the building, including a petition with more than 2,000 signatures.
Six different bidders had put forward 10 different bids, including two from Torry Development Trust.
Torry Heritage Group applied to Historic Scotland in a bid to protect the granite school building, but the move was rejected.
The plans will now be heard by councillors at a pre-application hearing on Thursday, because it is considered a major development of more than 50 homes.
Torry Community Council secretary David Fryer said: “The community in Torry still deeply regrets the decision to sell the site, which will most likely lead to the loss of a significant granite building and a loss to Aberdeen’s granite heritage.
“We will look very keenly and critically at any proposals which come forward for this site.”
In a report to councillors, planning officials say that the school site is identified as an “opportunity for sensitive residential development”.
Barratt Homes did not respond to the Press and Journal’s request for comment.
