Aberdeen City Council has approved the demolition of more than 500 council homes with RAAC “on safety grounds”.
Aberdeen City Council will permanently rehome hundreds of tenants after engineers found reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in roof panels.
It said several remedies were considered – including roof replacement – however, demolition was judged to offer the quickest and most cost-effective way to remove the "high risk" posed by the lightweight concrete, adding that it will aim to purchase the private properties by voluntary agreement at market rate.
Officers are exploring options for the long-term viability of the site.
