I see in the latest list of approved planning applications is the conversion of a steading to form three dwellinghouses at Newtonhill Farm, Newtonhill.
This includes alterations to the access. The farm sits to the west of the A90.
You can find out more on the council website, under planning – the reference is APP/2016/1823: https://upa.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=summary&keyVal=O987BQCAGED00
