The Executive Council on Tuesday approved a land-swap deal on The Peak which will clear the way for a development on a piece of green belt land next to Aberdeen Country Park.
The green belt site is being exchanged for the adjacent 23 Coombe Road property, which houses the Grade-1 historical building the Carrick.
Conservationists had opposed the deal, saying it could lead to environmental damage and might set a dangerous precedent. They also said the government's policy for saving historical buildings is flawed.
Exco also approved the rezoning of the green belt plot for residential purposes.
