\nDesign lead for the Summix Capital’s Edinburgh Gateway development is 3DReid<\/p>\n

Regeneration specialist Summix Capital has secured planning permission, subject to conditions, for its Edinburgh Gateway development on the site of the former Saica packaging facility.<\/p>\n

The 15.5-acre (6.3ha) brownfield site on Turnhouse Road is allocated in the council\u2019s City Plan 2030 for residential-focused redevelopment.<\/p>\n

Plans include 957 new homes, 35 per cent of which are affordable, plus a hotel with 172 bedrooms. In addition, ground-floor retail, commercial and community uses are proposed, as well as the creation of new public realm and a station interface with associated landscaping, infrastructure, car parking and access arrangements.<\/p>\n

The development masterplan defines seven development plots. Plots 1 and 2 will deliver private sale housing; Plots 3 and 4 are dedicated to build-to-rent homes; and Plots 5 and 6 contribute to the city\u2019s affordable housing provision. Plot 7 will be for the new hotel.<\/p>\n

A northern park area with a rain garden is proposed, along with wildflower meadows, tree planting, and a formal playground, lawn, and picnic areas.\u00a0 Additionally, two new civic squares are envisaged.<\/p>\n

Summix Capital development director Stuart Black said: \u201cThe granting of this planning application for Edinburgh Gateway will create one of Scotland\u2019s most exciting and best-connected neighbourhoods, representing a significant investment in the capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cRedeveloping one of the last significant pieces of brownfield land in the city into a brand-new, sustainable mixed-use community, Edinburgh Gateway will support the tackling of the city\u2019s well-publicised housing emergency. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to continuing to work with the local community and council officers, as we progress the delivery of the development.\u201d<\/p>\n
