Asset Transfer - former Sea Cadet building in Stonehaven

We asked

The Kincardine and Mearns Youth Club submitted an Asset Transfer request for a 30-year lease of the former Sea Cadet Building in Stonehaven. The community was asked for their views on whether they supported or objected to the proposal.

You said

We received 16 representations in support of the proposal with no objections being received. All the documents relating to the Asset Transfer request and public comments can be viewed on the Council’s website – Asset Transfer - Aberdeenshire Council.

We will

The Asset Transfer request was considered at the Kincardine and Mearns Area Committee on 12 December 2023 and due to Councillors taking a different view from the Officers’ recommendation the matter was subsequently referred to the Business Services Committee on 29 February 2024 for final determination. The request was approved and Aberdeenshire Council will now conclude the 30-year lease of the former Sea Cadet building to the Kincardine and Mearns Youth Club.
