PLANS have been lodged for the revamp of a walkway at the new £1 billion St James centre development in the Scottish capital.
Avison Young has submitted the application for James Craig Walk on behalf of developer Nuveen for change of use at the site.
The new application is for a change of use from student accommodation to shops, financial, professional and other services and food and drink and hotel uses at the connecting street.

It also includes proposed alterations, shopfronts and associated works.
Avison Young also said in the application to Edinburgh City Council: "A concurrent listed building consent application for 'internal and external alterations, erection of shopfronts and associated works' has been submitted under separate cover."
The overall development is due for completion in 2021.
Based around a crescent of buildings surrounding a signature 12-storey hotel at its centre, the five-level Edinburgh St James will hold more than 850,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space, including 85 new shops, more than 30 new restaurants, and 152 apartments.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
