North-east housing firm Claymore Homes has received the go-ahead to build the last houses of its Greenacres development in Peterhead.
The 61 homes, to be built on a site off Kinmundy Road, will mark the fifth and final phase of the site.
Councillors initially approved the Greenacres masterplan for 210 homes back in 2017.
Construction of the other homes on the Peterhead development are at an “advanced” stage.
Claymore’s latest proposal added six extra homes to the previously granted masterplan.
The development will include a mix of detached and semi-detached homes ranging from three to five-bedrooms in size.
New pathways will be formed on the site along with new play equipment for youngsters.
Access to the new houses will be formed from the existing Wellington Drive and Friarshill Crescent.
Council planners recommended the proposal be given the go-ahead.
They said it would help the developer “deliver a better balance of detached, semi-detached and single storey houses of varying sized to meet local housing requirements”.
They added: “The proposed houses are of a similar design to those approved elsewhere within the estate, therefore providing continuity and sense of place.”
The application went before the Buchan area committee on Tuesday and councillors unanimously agreed to approve the plan.
