Aberdeenshire property developer Colaren Homes has secured permission for a new office development near Fraserburgh. The developer had already secured permission for a quarry office at Burnthills Farm, two miles west of Fraserburgh, which would have housed two to three staff members.

Planning permission in principle has been granted for the formation of an Aberdeenshire business park. Members of Aberdeenshire Council’s Buchan Area Committee this week considered plans for the Northwoods Eco Business Park on the northern boundary of Mintlaw.
