The lot comprises 2 x sites in the stunning costal village- The site areas are 258 sq m (309sq yds) and 5.8 sqm ( 7sq yds ) approx. The former reservoir has frontage to Donal Road.

All development is subject to gaining necessary consents. High demand location close to the major port town of Peterhead in the North of Scotland approximately 25 miles from the centre of Aberdeen. Excellent main road access to sites. PRIME INVESTMENT Boddam lies 5 minutes to the South of Peterhead, which is the largest white fish port in Europe but also has become a major oil and gas hub servicing the North Sea over the last 50 years.
Boddam was historically a fishing village however it was completely transformed when it became an R.A.F base for N.A.T.O accommodating approx. 1,000 personnel over a lifespan of approx. 70 years. With its closure circa 30 years ago, the main site is now a large business and leisure park but is also dominated by a huge power station built after the demise of the RAF base. The seaside village of Boddam has a resident population of circa 1,400 persons and facilities include a primary school (Boddam), NHS doctors surgery, Royal Mail Post Office, two convenience stores and a public library. As reported nationally, the Boddam Power Station is one of two huge projects (the other being St Fergus gas station 20 minutes from Boddam) that are in line to be transformed into carbon capture hubs with the employment of thousands of personnel in the North East of Scotland. Major funding for the project has already been invested by the private sector and now the last piece of the jigsaw is to be funded by the UK Government, which appears to be imminent as the 2 sites are the only ones being purposed for Scotland due to the present pipelines of Boddam and St Fergus connecting the disused oil wells in the North Sea they are going to be pumped to. The nearby town of Peterhead has a population of circa 18,000 is the shopping, commercial and administrative centre of North Aberdeenshire.
