CALA Homes to build 550 homes in Milltimber, Aberdeen

[cjb1]

I heard this morning that CALA have applied for planning permission to build 550 homes at Milltimber. Are Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire Councils going to sort out the road infrastructure to cope with this. OK, I know the Western Peripheral road is supposed to be coming sometime, but when? Will it have the capacity to carry the additional traffic associate to such a huge development? I heard that the AWPR is to be single carriage way, does anyone know anything different? There's been talk of the AWPR since 1987, will it ever be built and will it be built to cope with the volume of traffic 26 years later or will it be just another blunder of a folly by Aberdeen roads department?
The entire M25 took from the early 1970’s until it’s completion in 1986, a total of 15 years, the AWPR has taken 26 years and a spade hasn’t been put in the ground as yet.
