dandydunn Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Aberdeen have requested the withdrawal of planning consent to allow for further consultation. In other words, they've been told it's gonna be rejected and have decided to mothball everything, in the hope it will go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly the objectors have more resources at their disposal than most normal groups who object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Beem Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Not debating whether its good or bad for Aberdeen but what is it with folk in Aberdeenshire ? They seem to oppose anything and everything and one across as right miserable and annoying cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep saying Aberdeenshire council doesn’t want it, which is good, as it won’t built in the shire. The local council of kingswells also said the residents didn’t want it, without actually consulting anyone. Some of the comments the last year from them have been hilarious, one lassie said if there was football in Westhill, she wouldn’t be able to get to Costco between 3&5 pm as the A944 would be shit to traffic on maychdays and this is the only time she could get there. Another said she would have to get 6ft fences and cctv installed at her parents house to keep out the hooligans that rampage all over the city centre at weekends.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I lived in westhill for 3 years , on the furthest east street that backs into the fields ; recall a neighbour was all smug how the forties pipeline was in the field so nothing could get built there..... personally speaking i feel Pittodrie was badly neglected ; had loads of chances/time to redevelop After land behind south stand was bought rotate the pitch 90, training pitch on old gasworks etc ; but building houses is easier option we were also fed the line of “no viable alternative” to Bellfield by kingswells(sound familiar) altho the failed plan B at charlestown was obviously in the back hipper SM has obviously been a saviour for the club , but a badly kept secret re his propert deals ( AFC first went into debt during the building of beach end circa 93 ; SMG were prime construction contractors i recall - 4.5 mill cost ; 2 ish from grants) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been calls for resignations from furious Kingswells residents who are pro-Kingsford. To be fair, there has been a total breach of confidence, probably compliance and an abuse of position for self interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea, I’m a Sparkie, not an estate agent Going by house prices for flats in Aberdeen though, it will be a considerable amount that it’s worth. I would think 15-20 million would be a ballpark figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of the AWPR isn't either and it was an Aberdeen City Councillor who was blocking it.

I know that - but the point was about Aberdeenshire's objection. Aberdeen approved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
