LOCATION
The site is located on the northern edge of Edzell Woods which provided housing accommodation for the former US Naval Airbase RAF Edzell. The site extends to approximately 11 acres and is the site of the former primary school. The site is access via Perry Road and a private rood network leading from the public road to the south.
The village of Edzell approximately 3.5 miles to the south offers a range of facilities including cafes, restaurants and local retailers, further amenities can be found in Brechin approximately 9 miles to the southeast including a small supermarket, primary and secondary schooling and medical services.
The site also benefits from excellent accessibility being a short distance from the A90 providing swift access to Aberdeen and Dundee. There is a train station at Laurencekirk (8.5 miles) providing regular services to Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Caledonian Sleeper also stops at Montrose (11.5 miles).

DESCRIPTION
The development site is situated to the north of Perry Road and is generally level and bounded to the north and west by woodland and agricultural land to the east. Residential properties lie immediately to the south.
The site it enclosed by a security fence with all the buildings on site demolished and cleared. There are areas of hardstanding interspersed with landscaped areas.
The land extends to approximately 10.50 acres.

PLANNING
The land is located within the Edzell Woods settlement boundary and identified as “white land” in the Aberdeenshire Council LDP 2023.
Following demolition of the primary school a pre-application consultation took place with Aberdeenshire Council for the proposed erection of 50 residential properties. We understand that Aberdeenshire Council were supportive of future development of the property but had some pre-requisites including site investigation works and a traffic impact assessment on the suitability of Perry Road for the increased volume of traffic, a drainage impact assessment and works to get Perry Road up to adoptable standard.
The site has previously benefitted from planning consent for 5 detached houses on the eastern edge of the site in 2009, under ref: KM/AP/2009/0055. This planning consent has now lapsed. An application for planning permission in principle was made in 2014 for residential development with an indicative capacity of 50 units under ref: APP/2014/2361. The planning application was refused as a requirement to upgrade the road network to adoptable standards and connecting the private drainage system to the the mains had not been addressed.

SERVICES
Mains supplies of water and electricity are available adjacent to the site. The site and the whole of Edzell Woods are served by a private wastewater treatment plant. It is expected that service infrastructure upgrade works will be required for any significant multi-unit development.
The road network within Edzell Woods is private with the residents paying a service charge for maintenance of roads, common parts and the wastewater treatment plant.
There may be a requirement for the existing service infrastructure to be large scale upgraded to adoptable standard as part of any planning consent.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND DATA ROOM
The historic planning permission and associated plans together with plans showing the location of mains infrastructure, are available in the data room, which may assist parties with their appraisal of the site.
The pertinent information is available via an online data room – please contact Galbraith for access.
