The costs specifically related to the public consultation process and publication of statutory documentation are unavailable as these ongoing costs have been recorded as part of the overall scheme development costs.
The cost of acquisition of property by voluntary agreement (including compensation and professional fees) is approximately £18.8 million. This figure excludes compensation payments made to date in relation to the relocation of the International School of Aberdeen.
