HELLO and welcome to the PM Business Briefing, as plans have been lodged for 81 homes at a redeveloped Scottish harbour.
Located at the centre of the Granton Harbour site in Edinburgh, it is envisaged the Boardwalk development will help form a new coastal community.
A statement by Wilson and Gunn Architects submitted on behalf of Edinburgh Marine Holdings includes the development of 78 one, two and three bedroom flats and three houses along with nine commercial units covering 1,000 sqm.
The development includes significant landscaped areas in the form of public open spaces and comprises a central pedestrian avenue leading to the quayside promenade bounding the western edge of the marina.
The site is in the central area of the Granton Harbour development and is located at the northern end of the main thoroughfare Hesperus Broadway.
The Edinburgh Marina waterfront proposals include the redevelopment of over 60 acres of land stretching along the Firth of Forth and will provide a "rejuvenated link" between Edinburgh city centre and the Forth estuary.
It is envisaged the coastal community will include over 2,400 new homes to own or rent, built around the new 300 berth Edinburgh Marina and the Spa Hotel, together with a local centre with up to 18,500 sqm of new retail, leisure and commercial space including a new medical facility at Chestnut Yard.
