Offering over 38 park homes in its first phase, Burnbank Residential Park has teamed up with manufacturer Willerby Bespoke to present a 5 star, secure, gated park for the over 50s community.     



Involved in providing a craftsman finish to the development, which has already been subject to extensive new landscaping and installation of new infrastructure, is local building firm, McKenzie Burke. They have teamed up with Heritage Park Estates director, Nathan Smith, to take the park to the next level, and will offer customers the opportunity to add bespoke elements to their new properties, subject to build schedule.

Another local supplier is Simple Approach Estate Agency, based in Perth, which will assist with sales.

 

  • Plans approved to create new shops in Aberdeenshire village

Plans to create four new shops to boost amenities in an Aberdeenshire community have been approved.



The small development, which will be built next to the Stead Inn on Manse Road in Potterton, has been designed to “create a positive impact on the community”.

Planning documents were submitted by Raymond Simpson Associates on behalf of the Inn’s owner, Joe Ghaly.

The proposed units are to be located to the north of the Stead Inn and will be surrounded by fields.

Along the front there is to be a raised path, including a disability ramp, with railings and the roof will project out over to provide a canopy for shelter.



 

  • Space for People project in Dingwall to start

The Highland Council has published information about the temporary traffic orders that will come into place on June 19 in Dingwall as part of the Spaces for People project.

Following a successful award of £752,954 from Scottish Government’s Spaces for People fund, the council is now delivering a series of active travel interventions across Highland in response to the coronavirus pandemic.



The coming weeks and months will see streets across Highland giving more space to people walking, wheeling and cycling. This will make it possible for people to physically distance and get to key destinations using healthier travel modes. 

In Dingwall, the first improvements to be rolled out that require a temporary traffic regulation, will be the introduction of temporary 20mph speed limits on many of the roads around the town.
