Plans have now been submitted for one of the largest developments to come forward in Edinburgh’s city centre for a generation.
Ediston and Orion Capital Managers have been working together on their shared vision for New Town Quarter, previously known as New Town North, since last year and have carried out what has been one of the largest consultations ever on a city centre development.
Proposals include new homes, offices and a hotel on the 5.9-acre former Royal Bank of Scotland site in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. The proposals have been subject to major public engagement with the local community and stakeholders – including three public exhibitions, a significant number of bespoke meetings with community groups and representatives, and an analysis of hundreds of comments and submissions.
Welcoming the planning submission, Ross McNulty, Development Director at Ediston said: “We firmly believe that now is the right time to move forward with our proposals and deliver further significant investment in the heart of the nation’s capital. We have worked hard with key stakeholders and the local community to deliver proposals that are consistent with planning policies and our aspirations to create a new high-quality addition to the local area and the city.
