Strategic Settlements

Ballater

Proposals 

BL/H1: This 10.99Ha site to the north east of 
Monaltrie Park provides an opportunity for 
housing land for the longer term in Ballater and 
to ensure a planned approach to development. 
The site would have capacity for around 250 
units and would incorporate additional space for 
Monaltrie Park and provide parking opportunities 
for the Ballater Games or other large events. 
The site has been the subject of an ‘Inquiry by 
Design’ workshop run by the Prince’s Foundation 
for the Built Environment and involving the local 
community and other stakeholders.The CNPA 
will work with the community, developers, and the 
Prince’s Foundation, to ensure that a masterplan 
that reflects the community’s needs and the 
special character of Ballater is prepared for the 
site. Part of this site lies within SEPA’s indicative 
1 in 200 year flood risk area. A detailed flood 
risk assessment will therefore be required to 
accompany any development proposals for this 
site. 

BL/ED1:The existing business units owned by 
Aberdeenshire Council will remain, with vacant 
space reserved for business uses. 

BL/ED2: This site is allocated for additional 
economic development opportunities. 

BL/ED3: The bus station between Golf Road and 
Viewfield Road will remain as a site for business 
use, should it become vacated by its current 
occupiers. 

BL/C1: The site of the old school is to be 
protected for community use and the provision of 
uses considered necessary by the local community.
