Affordable home plans submitted in Scotland
Plans to build a number of affordable homes in Aberdeen have been submitted.
Langstane Housing Association has put forward proposals to construct some 35 flats on the site of the Copper Beech pub which was destroyed by fire in 2008.
The proposals incorporate a mixture of one and two-bedroom flats in addition to parking space for tenants, those with housing jobs may be interested to hear.
"We intend to develop the site for rented housing. There is a great need in the city for this kind of social housing and the Copper Beech is an ideal site," Alan Grant, chief executive for the housing association, tells the Press and Journal.
He adds that if Langstane is given the green light for the project, funding would have to be secured, which could take several months.
The news comes as the Scottish Government unveiled earlier this month that it plans to reduce the Housing Association Grant benchmark by £1,000 per unit, a move the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations claims could create problems when starting work on new housing developments.
