Rita Stephen, ACSEF
“ACSEF is, in principle, supportive of the employment-led proposals which fit well with our overall vision for the region, particularly in terms of attracting high quality companies and highly skilled jobs.
“One of our strategic priorities is about quality of life and it appears that this proposed development would provide an attractive, sustainable living and working environment within a country park, but in close proximity to the city.
“The plans are obviously in early development stage and would need to be incorporated into the structure plan and the local development plans.”

Rupert Lumsden, Landowner
"Banchory & Leggart are taking the initiative in responding to the demand for housing and economic growth in Aberdeen city and Shire
"I am confident we can implement this strategic plan following consultation. We have a very professional attitude with an experienced team. We are committed to working with stakeholders, listening to the community and reacting appropriately."

Jamie Bennett,
CEO of Atlas Interactive and local resident
“Banchory & Leggart Estates has put forward a clever, sustainable concept in a location businesses and homeowners alike will find attractive. The proximity to the city, the variety of transport links, the country park and the proposed infrastructure and services make for a highly desirable development that fits with Aberdeen City and Shire’s long-term growth ambitions. The country park in particular would offer a valuable asset to the whole regional community.”
