Granton set to get £6m shopping hub

Plans for a £6 million shopping centre and health hub in the north of Edinburgh have been approved by councillors.

Members of the city council’s development management sub-committee approved full planning permission for the Chestnut Yard facility to be built at the heart of the £500m Edinburgh Marina scheme at Granton.

Chestnut Yard will include a community medical centre and five retail units for residents at the marina development and will also operate as a community hub.
