A Section 42 application has been submitted which seeks to amend the phasing of the masterplan area, and simplify and/or purify as many suspensive planning conditions as possible available at https://publicaccess.moray.gov.uk/eplanning/caseDetails.do?keyVal=SUHNELBGGHJ00&caseType=Application The units have been designed to RIBA Stage 4.
