Summary - OLD SCHOOL, PERRY ROAD DD9 7XL
1 bed 1 bath Land
Substantial rural plot with planning potential for an experienced developer.
Approximately 10.5–11 acres freehold former school site
A rare 10.5–11 acre freehold site on the northern edge of Edzell Woods, previously the village primary school and cleared of buildings. The plot sits within the settlement boundary and is identified as “white land” in the Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan, giving clear scope for residential redevelopment subject to technical works.
Aberdeenshire Council’s pre-application response was broadly supportive of a c.50-home scheme but requires site investigation, a traffic impact assessment, drainage assessment and works to make Perry Road adoptable. Mains water and electricity lie adjacent; the estate uses a private wastewater treatment plant and significant upgrades to drainage and internal roads are likely for any multi-unit consent.
Historically the site had consent for five detached houses (now lapsed) and a 2014 application for c.50 units was refused because road and drainage connections were not resolved. That history underlines both the site’s potential and the practical conditions any purchaser must meet before larger-scale development can proceed.
This is a development and investment opportunity aimed at experienced developers or investors comfortable with technical, infrastructure and planning risk. The location offers quick access to the A90 and rail links to Aberdeen and Dundee, but the site’s remoter-community setting, private service network and requirement for substantial infrastructure works mean the project will need capital, specialist consultants and a realistic timetable.
