West Coast Estates – Linnorie Huntly
By Experience Huntly on 21/11/2022
On behalf of West Coast Estates (WCE) and Dean’s of Huntly, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our proposal for a new roadside development called Linnorie, which would encompass a food hub and a super-fast electric car charging station just off the A96 near Huntly.
Linnorie will feature a Starbucks, McDonalds restaurant and a Fastned facility, which would be the Dutch firm’s third super-fast electric car charging station location in Scotland.
The Fastned facility will have 8 ultra-rapid charging points powered by renewable energy, capable of adding up to 180 miles of range in just 15 minutes. Given Huntly’s strategic position on the A96 and the greater use of electric vehicles across the country, we believe it’s an ideal location for such a facility.
In addition to the £5million invest, the proposals will create 100 new jobs, with further employment created during the construction phase. We are also fully committed to making a positive community impact and would employ exclusively northeast construction contractors. When complete, Linnorie would also contribute over £100,000 per year in business rates, which will support local services.
We value the input of the local community and would welcome your comments on the proposal. We have created a bespoke project website (https://linnoriehuntly.co.uk/) where you can find out more about our plans and share your views via the online or downloadable feedback form. The website will be live from Friday 18th November 2022, with comments due back no later than Friday 2nd December 2022.
We have also created a dedicated Facebook page and will post regular updates to keep people informed. You can visit the Facebook page at (https://bit.ly/3Ob4ilL).
