An application has been submitted to Aberdeenshire Council for a change of use of business premises at the junction of School Road and Tuach Road in Kintore to create a retail unit.

The premises, known as the Forties Business Centre and formerly occupied by Safelift, are at 32 School Road, Kintore.



Previous applications for the site were were submitted in 2007 and 2008. The 2007 application was for demolition of the existing premises and the erection of retail units.

The 2007 application was withdrawn and a revised application submitted the following year for demolition and erection of a mixed use development of retail with short-stay serviced apartments. This second application was refused.

The new application for a client in Aberdeen, is for a 24 sq m retail unit with store, office and kitchen. Three parking spaces are planned on the site.
