Yard Site at Former Railway Station, King Edward, Banff, AB45

On the instructions of The Executors of The Late Mr Edmund Ritchie.

This yard site, extending to a total area of 0.8 hectares (2 acres) or thereby, is situated at the location of the former railway station at King Edward, in operation until 1951, with the line permanently closing to all traffic in 1961.

The northern part of the site previously benefited from outline planning permission for the erection of three dwelling houses, approved in August 2016. Permission is understood to have now lapsed, and no works are understood to have started since planning permission was granted. Further information can be found on the Planning section of the Aberdeenshire Council website using reference APP/2013/2036. Interested parties must make their own enquires with regards to the planning potential of the site.

The property is offered for sale in its present condition. Any site clearance, together with any associated costs, shall be the responsibility of the purchaser unless otherwise agreed in writing.
