Aberdeen Airport hotel likely to be approved
16.02.09
A multimillion-pound hotel and flats development near Aberdeen Airport is poised to get the go-ahead from councillors, the Press & Journal reports. Planning officials have recommended proposals for a 131-bed hotel and 64 flats at Dyce are approved next week.
The disused site lies between Dyce Station and Aberdeen Airport, with a four-storey hotel to be built on the northern part of the field, and three and four-storey tenement flats to be located to the south. The Farburn Terrace scheme, planned by developers FAB Aberdeen, is understood to be worth up to £8million and would help address an acute shortage of hotel beds in the city.
A bar and restaurant would be included on the ground floor of the 50,000sq ft hotel, while a new access road and car parking spaces would be provided as well. Objection letters have been submitted from 11 interested parties, with Aberdeen Civic Society branding the hotel design ‘unimaginative’. The city’s planning committee is to rule on the proposals for Farburn Terrace at its meeting on Thursday.
