Edinburgh Council is examining \u2018ambitious plans\u2019 to revamp the public realm of the Scottish capital\u2019s city centre. Delivering the opening keynote at a Built Environment Networking<\/a> event, the authority\u2019s Head of Place Development Michael Thain said the city was in the middle of a building boom<\/h2>\n

Thain described the \u00a33bn worth of projects underway in the city centre as the \u2018most concentrated amount of development and investment of any urban centre in the whole of the UK\u2019, but stressed that the centre\u2019s choked public realm was \u2018not fit for purpose\u2019.<\/p>\n

The council\u2019s recent acquisition of the former National Grid site in the waterside area of Granton, which has the capacity for 1,600 new homes, \u2018gives a message about a commitment to develop\u2019 according to Thain.<\/p>\n

He added that their support for efforts to promote the city\u2019s inclusive growth includes plans for its recently established housing company to invest \u00a3250m over the next five years in building and acquiring mid-market and market rent homes.<\/p>\n

Gillian Lavety, Development Director at the Sanctuary Group Scotland<\/a>, said the housing association is preparing to embark on its first market sale properties North of the border.<\/p>\n

These include the regeneration<\/a> of Glasgow\u2019s former Victoria Infirmary, where Sanctuary is bringing forward 413 residential units including 135-social rent and shared ownership homes. The group is anticipating a hearing this month (May) with Glasgow City Council\u2019s planning committee about the site application, which retains the infirmary\u2019s prominent Nightingale pavilions and listed administration block.<\/p>\n

Lavety said the association is also just about to finish the final phase, containing just over 200 units, of its regeneration of the Anderston area in Glasgow city centre. The five-phase scheme replaces nearly 500 low-rise, 1960s flats, which were transferred from Scottish Homes more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Lastly, she said Sanctuary Group Scotland is half way through the regeneration of 12 high rise blocks in Cumbernauld, all but three of which have been demolished.<\/p>\n

Jestyn Davies, Managing Director of Murray Estates<\/a>, revealed that the company is awaiting a decision by the Scottish Government<\/a> on whether it has won consent for the first phase of its new Edinburgh Garden District.<\/p>\n

Davies said that a recommendation to the Scottish Government is \u2018imminent\u2019 from a report, the term for planning inspector in Scotland, on Murray\u2019s application for 1,350 homes at Redheughs Village.<\/p>\n

Redheughs is set to be the first of five to six new villages, which will be developed on 700 acres to the west of Edinburgh, under Murray\u2019s masterplan for the 6,500-home garden district.\u00a0 Murray Estates are in \u2018advanced discussions\u2019 with three volume housebuilders and one major affordable homes<\/a> provider to deliver the project.<\/p>\n

The district is well integrated into the city\u2019s transport network with five tram stops within easy reach.<\/p>\n

Davies said: \u201cWe are not some new Eco Town sitting in the middle of the countryside. We are bolted onto the city, which allows us to grow more quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The scheme is close to employment centres housing more than 25,000 jobs with more in the pipeline on upcoming developments at Crosswinds and Edinburgh Park.<\/p>\n

Davies also told the event that Murray Estates is in the \u2018early stages\u2019 of looking at the creation of a new village near Edinburgh\u2019s Heriot Watt-University<\/a>, containing up to 3,000 new homes, of which a quarter would be affordable and key worker properties.<\/p>\n

Clive Wilding, Director of Artisan Real Estates<\/a>, said the company is due to hand over its New Waverley development to the Cabinet Office in June 2019, and he outlined his company\u2019s plans within Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Part of the plans include the restoration of Glasgow\u2019s crumbling Georgian Custom House, which occupies a prominent Clydeside site in the city centre, which they hope to convert into two hotels. The scheme for the Grade A structure also involves securing permission for the demolition of three neighbouring tenement buildings.<\/p>\n

Mark Hamilton, Group Architectural Director of Springfield Properties<\/a>, also outlined his company\u2019s plans to deliver some 10,000 new homes in five villages across Scotland.<\/p>\n
