• The project involves the construction of flats and all associated infrastructure including roads, parking areas, drainage, services and amenity spaces for Aberdeen City Council.
• This includes a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom flats with all 369 flats being for social rent tenure by the Council.
• The flats are contained within eight blocks with a maximum height of four storeys.
• The proposed development has two parallel streets on an east west axis both providing for two-way vehicular movements.
• The streets will have parking perpendicular to the road.
• Signage and traffic calming measures will be used to slow traffic and create an environment welcoming to pedestrians.
• A key feature of the development is a central core of open space overlooked by the flats.
• The project also includes works outwith the site boundary to the adjoining roads including Lang Stracht.
• The 1, 2 and 3-bedroom flats are located on the site of the former Summerhill Academy on Gairsay Road in the city. CHAP has been contracted to construct the flats and all associated infrastructure including roads, parking areas, drainage, services and amenity spaces.
• Aberdeen City Council housing spokesperson Councillor Sandra Macdonald said: “It is fantastic that work is taking place on the Summerhill site again and I’m sure local residents and particularly children will be excited to see the big crane working at the site as the building work progresses in the coming months.
• “The building site at Summerhill will help new residents and the wider area as the construction contract has a comprehensive programme of community benefits, including apprenticeships and early learning activities.
Access to quality housing greatly improves the quality of life for residents by creating new communities and opening up new social and economic horizons.”
The whole team of MEC and CHAPS continue to strive for perfect delivery, and we are proud of such a positive association and partnership with a most cherished client.
