Cullross, which specialises in "affordable housing", has submitted plans to build hundreds of "much-needed" homes on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
The development is proposed on land east of Glennie Road, Newcraighall, near Musselburgh.
Cullross said that, if it receives planning permission, the development will see the building of around 220 residential units, including flats, “colony flats” and townhouses, with associated parking, green space, and bicycle storage.
It added that the development may include retail and commercial space.

Cullross said members of the development team would be available to answer questions about the project, and exhibition boards of the early designs would be available to view.
Mark Beaton, director of Cullross, said: “We are delighted to share our early-stage plans for much-needed housing in the Newcraighall area. As part of the consultation process, we will present our initial plans to the community to hear their views and answer any questions they may have.
"As a company, we place a premium on a strong relationship and collaboration with the community, and we hope as many residents as possible attend these consultations. We invite the community to attend and look forward to hearing their views.”
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
