Planning news
PLANNING PERMISSION in principle has now been granted by The City of Edinburgh Council for a major mixed-use development at South Queensferry which will enlarge the royal burgh to the south.
CALA Homes (East) will build 980 homes, a new primary school, as well as creating provision for a care home, foodstore, drivethrough restaurants and petrol station, on the 44 hectare site south west of Builyeon Road on the southern edge of Queensferry.
The developers say the designs have been heavily directed by engagement from the local community, spearheaded by the Queensferry & District Community Council and include suggestions from a well-attended online consultation event last October.
The developers have signed a Section 75 Agreement with the council which contains obligations to be fulfulled by them, including a contribution of £90,000 towards cycle paths.
The approval is conditional upon a new Masterplan, and the
CALA submission provides the additional details required for full planning approval. cala-builyeonroad.co.uk
CALA HAVE also lodged an application for redevelopment of St Crispin’s School, Blackford (after its move to Burdiehouse).
