Elgin house building plans going before Moray Council.
Plans for a long-awaited affordable housing development in Elgin are expected to be agreed next week.
Councillors are set to discuss moves to build 106 homes at Bilbohall near Elgin High School.
The proposal is a large part of the Bilbohall Masterplan for almost 194 houses in the area which stretches to the railway line.
Homes planned are a mix of one, two, three, four and bedroomed houses plus a pair of three-storey blocks of flats.
Moray Council has submitted the application to its own planning committee.
A report going before Tuesday’s meeting says the development will offer a “good choice of homes for future residents”.
As of March this year there were 3351 applications on the local authority’s housing waiting list.
Plans for affordable housing at Bilbohall stretch back to 2007 when Moray Council bought the site from NHS Grampian for £2 million.
Initially it was proposed that 300 homes would be built, but following objections that was reduced to 194.
