Site visit before decision on Union Terrace Gardens plan

Councillors have agreed to visit Aberdeen's Union Terrace Gardens before making a decision on whether to allow a redevelopment plan to go ahead.

Glasgow-based LDA Designs already has outline planning permission for the work to regenerate the Victorian sunken gardens.

The proposals include new walkways, an amphitheatre, play area and a water feature.

Officials had recommended the plans be approved.

The site visit is due to happen next Wednesday.
