Councillors to discuss demolition of Aberdeen exhibition centre.
Plans to demolish the current Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) to build almost 500 homes are going back before councillors.
Councillors voted to approve an application to demolish the Bridge of Don concert venue in December 2015.
The plans also involve the creation of a mixed-use development on the site including 498 homes, commercial and business space, a recycling centre and park and ride facility.
Members of Aberdeen City Council’s planning committee will reconsider the application due to a change in the developer obligations due.
Henry Boot Developments is now required to make a contribution of £509,738 towards healthcare provision.
Planning officers are again urging councillors to approve the plans conditionally with permission to be withheld until a legal agreement has been signed to secure developer obligations relating to primary education, community facilities, sports and recreation, transportation and now healthcare.
A new £333 million exhibition centre is being built at Bucksburn to replace the Bridge of Don venue.
