Banchory and District Partnership Place Plan

Your Place Plan Is Coming Soon!

Aberdeenshire's Community Planning Partnership(External link) is supporting the development of Partnership Place Plans across Aberdeenshire, with the aim of enabling communities to thrive and live well locally.

The Marr Local Community Planning Group - which brings together representatives from local community groups, alongside third sector and public sector partners - is supporting the development of 4 Partnership Place Plans across Marr, each covering an Academy catchment area.

The Banchory & District Partnership Place Plan aims to best reflect the distinct identity, assets and priorities of the local area and be shaped by those that know the area best – the people that live, work and visit here.

The Marr Local Community Planning Group is keen to hear from as wide a range of voices as possible.

We already know that there has been wide engagement across the Banchory & District Area with four local place plans for each of the community council areas being developed and we don't want to repeat the work that has been done. We want to validate and check that the needs of the community are still reflected in those plans so we will still use the data collected and aim to clarify the data before we work with services to create action on the priorities.

The main outcomes from the local place plan work are summarised below:

• better infrastructure
• no further housing development until infrastructure catches up
• safeguard all green space
• improve and increase services - including education and health.
• improved public transport and active travel options
• investment in tourism and education opportunities across the area

To clarify that the above are still pertinent to the area and to let us know what's working well and what needs to change, click on and complete the survey below.
