Former Bucksburn Primary School

The subjects comprise the site of the former Bucksburn Primary School located within the Bucksburn area of Aberdeen, to the rear of the residential properties that line the south side of Inverurie Road close to its junction with Oldmeldrum Road and Auchmill Road.

The location on Inverurie Road gives good transport links to the City Centre. There are also excellent road links to the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR), The Event Complex Aberdeen (TECA), and to Aberdeen Airport all of which are within easy reach.

The old school buildings are being demolished to leave a cleared site. 

The site extends to approximately 1.18 Hectares (2.93 acres) or thereby.

The last use was as a Local Authority Primary School and Nursery, which falls within Use Class 10 (Non-residential Institution) of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) (Scotland) Order 1997.

In the Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2017 the site is identified for Housing under existing Residential Areas (Policy H1).

In the Proposed Aberdeen Local Development Plan 2022 the site is identified as an Opportunity Site: OP17 (Former Bucksburn Primary School) under Policy – Residential. Other Factors note - former primary school suitable for residential, healthcare or other uses compatible with a residential area.

It is recommended that interested parties contact the Planning Department for further information on the Aberdeen Local Development Plan and to establish if their proposals would be acceptable in planning terms.
