957-home mixed-use development at Saica Pack, Cammo, Edinburgh

“The application is for full planning permission for the development of the site for 'mixed- use development including, residential and hotel development; ground floor retail, commercial and community uses; the creation of new public realm and station interface with associated landscaping, infrastructure, car parking and access arrangements'.”

“− Residential parking for the 957 flatted units comprises 177 spaces (19% provision). This figure includes two car club spaces proposed at the south of the site beside the proposed mobility hub. Of the general parking spaces, seven are accessible spaces. Parking is distributed around the site and is on-street. All car parking spaces are capable of being built for electric vehicles.”

“The site is bounded to the northeast by Turnhouse Road, to the south by the Glasgow Road and to the southwest by the east coast main railway line. To the northwest lies emerging development at West Craigs along either side of Turnhouse Road which is currently under development inclusive of housing, green spaces, and active travel corridors. Existing housing of a suburban scale is located opposite the site across Turnhouse Road and Maybury Junction is located to the east.”

“The site is now vacant, and its last use was industrial with remaining features at the site including a range of parking, servicing and delivery bays, hard standing and industrial buildings. Other features on the site include trees at the interface wtih Turnhouse Road and the site's corner at Maybury junction, while the western boundary is defined by hedgerows and existing fencing to secure the site.”

“The proposal delivers 957 new homes on an allocated housing site in the Local Development Plan (LDP) as part of a mixed-use development with a hotel and commercial uses and is acceptable in principle. The proposal will form part of the emerging area in West Edinburgh as envisaged in the development plan through policy Place 16 and the West Edinburgh Placemaking Framework, and the quantum of housing is in accordance with the LDP housing pipeline requirement for this site.”

“The design is based on a strong concept and will deliver a place with identity in a sustainable location and with low parking. Sustainable modes of travel are available at the nearby Edinburgh Gateway station and bus services along Glasgow Road, while active travel infrastructure and cycle parking to acceptable standards are provided on the site.”
