A POPULAR Aberdeen hotel could be facing the bulldozer to make way for flats.

Aberdeen City Council’s planning chief has recommended backing a plan to flatten the Cloverleaf Hotel.
Stewart Milne Homes wants to build 68 affordable homes at the Kepplehills Road site in Bucksburn.
In her report on the Cloverleaf proposal, Dr Margaret Bochel said: “The application has come forward as a development for affordable housing (social rented), therefore a legal agreement ensuring the development remains social rented accommodation is necessary in this instance.”
The flats would include 55 parking spaces and be built in two sections, broken into blocks of two and three-storeys.
One would follow the line of Sclattie Park and Kepplehills Road, and the other would be sited on the eastern half of the site.
The Cloverleaf has been a popular drinking spot with locals over the years.
In the 1970s, strippers and basket suppers were the star attractions.

It does mean my favoured drinking hole The Four Mile will soon be filled with stray riff raff from the Leaf, a sad day for my local and the community.

 

I still have my doubts it will go ahead, there's so much house building going on in the area and the local economy is on its knees, they'll run out buyers soon, and despite the plans for now will Milne commit to a 100% low priced development, I've got my doubts.

 

The new estate I'm on had houses being sold within hours of being released 6 Months ago, now they can't shift the last 8, market has collapsed according to the sales woman in the show home.
