Large roadside building plot with lapsed consent, ideal for developers seeking quick auction purchase near A90.
Large plot approx 30m x 40m (0.30 acres)
Lapsed planning permission (APP/2021/0599) — resubmission required
Mains water connected; electricity and drainage require installation
Freehold title; to be sold at auction for quick completion
Good road links to A90; rail services at nearby Laurencekirk
34 minutes to Aberdeen Airport; strong regional travel links
Close to outdoor recreation and Cairngorms — lifestyle appeal
Wider area flagged as very deprived; factor local market conditions
A generous 0.30-acre roadside plot just off the A90, offered freehold and sold at auction. The site previously held planning permission (APP/2021/0599) for residential development; the consent has lapsed but the council indicated resubmission should pose no issues. Mains water is connected; electricity and drainage lie nearby and will require formal connection.
This location will appeal to developers or investors seeking a quick, relatively low-cost entry into Aberdeenshire development. Good road links to Laurencekirk, Aberdeen and Dundee, combined with excellent rail nearby and a 34-minute drive to Aberdeen Airport, make the plot well placed for commuters and holiday-market buyers. Outdoor recreation and proximity to Cairngorms add lifestyle appeal for future occupiers.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: planning has lapsed (resubmission required), other services must be installed, and the surrounding wider area scores as very deprived. The sale is by auction and priced for a quick completion, so purchasers must factor in resubmission timelines, service-connection costs, and achievable sale values in the locality when calculating returns.
For a developer prepared to manage consenting and connect services, this plot offers a relatively rare, affordable countryside development opportunity with strong transport links and nearby market comparables for finished homes.
