** SALE BY AUCTION - 18 September 2025 - Timed Online Auction **

An exciting opportunity for small builders or developers to acquire a prime residential building plot in a charming seaside village. This property comes with the advantage of historic outline planning permission for a 7,200 sq.ft development site, with consent granted in 2019 for the construction of 14 stylish one-bedroom apartments. The plans can be resubmitted to Aberdeenshire Council should an alternative development be preferred. The roughly square plot benefits from main road frontage with rear access situated behind the Buchaness Hotel, centrally located in Boddam.

Ideal for a developer seeking a site in a sought-after coastal location, this parcel of land is within walking distance of the primary school, local shop, and bus routes into Peterhead town centre. It presents an excellent opportunity to create your own home or investment project in a vibrant seaside community. The Peterhead/Boddam area has experienced significant growth due to its strategic deep-water port and the burgeoning oil and gas industry, positioning it at the forefront of Scotland’s green transition, with Boddam designated as a large green village project backed by Chinese investors.

The site, which has been cleared and prepared for development, spans approximately 669 sq.m. with outline planning approval (Planning Number: APP/2019/1574) granted by Aberdeenshire Council. This strategically located site offers immense potential for residential development in a picturesque coastal setting.

Historically a fishing village, Boddam was transformed when it served as a NATO RAF base for around 70 years, accommodating up to 1,000 personnel. Since its closure three decades ago, the area has evolved into a thriving business and leisure hub, dominated by a significant power station built on the former RAF site. The community, with a population of roughly 1,400 residents, benefits from local amenities including Boddam Primary School, NHS GP services, a Post Office, two convenience stores, and a public library. Notably, Boddam Power Station is earmarked to be converted into a carbon capture hub, part of a major initiative involving private investment and imminent UK Government funding, creating thousands of jobs and positioning the area at the forefront of Scotland’s green energy revolution. Additionally, the nearby St Fergus gas terminal is also slated for similar transformative development.

Located near the coast and close to the beach, this site offers an idyllic setting for residential development. The nearby town of Peterhead, with approximately 18,000 residents, serves as the commercial and administrative hub of North Aberdeenshire, further enhancing the appeal of this prime location.
