Leith Docks Approved
RMJM's 'masterplan' for Leith Docks over the next 15 years has been approved by the Edinburgh City Council.
This is the largest single planned development in Edinburgh and involves 170 hectares of 'brownfield' land
Turner & Townsend is providing cost advice for the infrastructure, phasing and development strategy for the Leith Docks Development Framework.
The Leith Docks Framework sets out the vision for the area over the next 15 years creating up to 18,000 new homes: family homes and waterfront apartments and villas enclosed within nine new waterfront villages. There will also be commercial, leisure and retail developments, schools, libraries, health and educational facilities and an abundance of green spaces & promenades.
The redevelopment of this key Edinburgh dockland is being designed to meet the BREEAM excellent rating and will have on site renewable energy regeneration, creating a sustainable waterfront development.
Leith Docks – The Future
Forth Ports Ltd has submitted an outline planning application for a £19.2m development of 480 flats and offices on Ocean Drive, Leith. Up to 18,000 new homes - 5,400 family homes and 4,500 affordable properties - could be created at Leith Docks. The proposals are part of a draft framework, produced by Forth Ports in conjunction with Edinburgh City Council, which has set out a 15-year vision for Leith Docks. Also proposed is a new cruise liner terminal, an extension to the Ocean Terminal shopping centre, a major new civic space around the Imperial Dry Dock, and a marine windfarm.
