1,500 House Development Approved For Elgin
A masterplan which will see a major northward expansion of Elgin over the next two decades has been approved by Moray councillors.
The blueprint for Findrassie has been prepared by the landowner, Pitgaveny Estate, in partnership with Moray Council and provides for around 1500 new homes in addition to land which will be developed for business.
The plans for the 112 hectare site, which stretches from Duffus Road in the west to Lossiemouth Road in the east, will now go out for public consultation.
The masterplan includes sports pitches, allotments, a range of housing types from family to retirement homes.
The proposals also include a centrally located primary school incorporating provision for community facilities with opportunities for outdoor learning.
The local authority says all of the elements will help to create a new neighbourhood with its own identity and character where people will be able to live their entire lives.
The public consultation will open on Monday the 31st August and run to Friday October 9th.
