PlotDescription
This 2.62-acre site at Drumdelgie, around 4.5 miles northwest of Huntly, is offered as a development opportunity in a rural setting with access to the A96 approximately one mile away. Planning permission was previously granted in 2012 for seven houses and two holiday units, including demolition of an agricultural building and a change of use from agricultural land to domestic use. That permission has lapsed, so any future development would require the relevant planning position to be checked with Aberdeenshire Council. Huntly provides shops, supermarkets, leisure and community facilities, while its railway station offers mainline services. Aberdeen is around 40 miles to the southeast, and Aberdeen Airport provides domestic and international connections.

31out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial 2.62-acre rural site with strong access to the A96 and a previous permission for seven houses and two holiday units, offering scope to shape a sizeable development project. That permission has lapsed, so any future scheme depends on planning and site-feasibility checks. The existing agricultural building is severely deteriorated, with damaged and partly open roof areas, and the surrounding hardstanding and grounds are overgrown and in poor condition.
At £150,000, the missing floor area means value versus local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The low overall score reflects the limited information on value and project economics alongside the scale and risk of the works; the site’s size and former consent remain its main attractions.
Key opportunities
- The 2.62-acre site gives scope to plan a substantial rural scheme, subject to planning and feasibility.
- Previous permission for seven houses and two holiday units offers a useful starting point for exploring a new proposal, although it has lapsed.
- The rural setting, private feel and access to the A96 are distinctive advantages to consider in a future site plan.
Key risks
- The severely deteriorated agricultural building, including visibly damaged and partly open roof areas, makes this a major demolition or repair and site-clearance programme rather than a cosmetic project.
- The former permission has lapsed; any future development requires planning approval and site-feasibility checks.
