Moray Council have launched a public consultation on the proposed long-term expansion plan for Buckie South, which includes 600 houses.

The Masterplan sets out the development to the south west of the town over the next 20 years. The expansion includes a site for a potential primary school and community facility; shops; parks; allotments and orchards; and includes a network of walking and cycling routes to connect the new neighbourhood with the town.

The consultation on all aspects of the plan closes at 5pm on Monday 15 March 2022. Due to the ongoing pandemic the consultation will be virtual, however anyone interested in further information can request a one-to-one virtual chat with the council officers behind the plan.

Chair of the Planning and Regulatory Services Committee, Cllr David Bremner, said: "The chance to contribute to the plans for a new and complete neighbourhood in Buckie is one I hope local folk will take up with the usual passion they have for their local area.

"We have a fantastic opportunity to build the foundations of a community-led neighbourhood development and I look forward to this Masterplan coming back to committee following input from locals."
