The housing development in Edinburgh will provide 655 new homes, incorporating a unique mix of bedroom apartments, terraced homes, colonies and detached homes, providing urgently needed affordable homes in the city<\/h2>\n

The housing development at Cammo Estate\u00a0is a consortium project by CALA Homes<\/a> and David Wilson Homes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson on behalf of the consortium, said: \u201cWe must thank the local community first and foremost for engaging with us throughout, helping us to shape the final proposals which have evolved over the past two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fully understand how important the junctions at Maybury and Barnton are and traffic was a key concern for many people at the outset. The improvements made through Planning Gain<\/a> contributions will benefit the wider community and those commuting in or out the city.”<\/p>\n

A key component of the site is the extent of publicly accessible green space \u2013 which totals over a third of the entire development and includes linear parks, a seven-hectare park, and over 700 new specimen trees.<\/p>\n

In addition, a half kilometre 20-metre wide green corridor at Maybury Avenue will feature a much-needed cycle and footpath detached from Maybury Road.<\/p>\n

Further improvements to the walking and cycling network will be made from Planning Gain contributions the developments will make. In line with the Local Development Plan these routes will connect to the land at West Craigs, and as part of that development connect onwards to the Gyle and Edinburgh Park.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added: \u201cAt the heart of the design solution has been the delivery of an outstanding landscape environment<\/a> along with significant investment to improve public transport, education and health care and the delivery of an excellent pedestrian and cycle network.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the development site we will deliver new bus infrastructure in addition to making contributions to public transport connections to the site. In addition, there is an exceptionally wide range of homes that will help to ease the supply shortfall that features throughout the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the 655 homes, 25% of the development units will be of affordable tenure delivered with our Registered Social Landlord<\/a> partner; comprising a wide range of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and terraced homes. The affordable housing development will commence as part of the initial phase of development.<\/p>\n
