Aberdeenshire Council reveals \u201cambitious plans\u201d to invest \u00a3135m to build more than 2,500 affordable homes<\/h2>\n

Affordable homes in Aberdeenshire<\/a> are to gain a boost after the council revealed plans to create more than 2,500 by 2022.<\/p>\n

The plans form part of the council\u2019s draft strategic housing investment plan and would see the affordable homes<\/a> built at a cost of \u00a3135m.<\/p>\n

Scottish government funding could help with the scheme<\/h3>\n

According to the draft, some \u00a395m of the total cost could be secured through the Scottish government\u2019s resource planning assumptions.<\/p>\n

Chair of the council\u2019s social work and housing committee Councillor Anne Allan<\/a> spoke to the Press and Journal.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cThe council has ambitious plans to increase the supply of affordable homes. It will help to reduce our waiting lists and provide much needed homes in Aberdeenshire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government has given the money to do it. We can\u2019t do it without their funding. It is really needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is expected the plans will see 314 homes given the green light in 2016-17. In 2017-18 a further 495 will follow, with 380 from 2019-20, and 430 from 2020-21. The following year will end with 439 homes.<\/p>\n

Developers are being asked to come forward with proposals if they are able to provide or contribute to affordable housing provision.<\/p>\n
