Cala Homes is stepping in with a plan similar to a previous proposal by Scotia Homes, promising much-needed housing while setting up long-term management for upkeep. But don’t let the green light fool you: local services, especially healthcare and schools, are already stretched thin, with NHS Grampian warning of GP capacity issues and staffing shortages. Despite these concerns, the council voted to proceed, citing the urgency of housing demand and the site’s long-standing development potential — even as they acknowledged the real strain on infrastructure and transport. The project moves forward, balancing growth with caution. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
