Leith Docks regeneration gets outline consent

Michael Donnelly, PlanningResource, 27 August 2008

Leith Docks: 30-year project

Leith Docks: 30-year project

The City of Edinburgh Council has granted outline consent for Forth Ports' Leith Docks regeneration scheme.

The application, the largest planning application in Edinburgh's history, was submitted last September.

Leith Docks will accommodate up to 15,000 townhouses and flats and is expected to create almost 12,000 jobs in Edinburgh.

It will feature nine 'urban villages' including a mix of commercial, retail, industrial and leisure uses.

It will encompass a new office quarter extending to 130,000 sq m and over 90,000 sq m of retail, cultural, community and leisure facilities.

The project will be developed in phases and is expected to take up to 30 years to fully complete.

Forth Ports and masterplanner RTKL will also produce a detailed masterplan for the first two villages with a view to lodging this masterplan later this year.

The application will now be referred to the Scottish government for its consideration.
