Regeneration of Granton Waterfront hits next major milestone  Waterfront Broadway – looking north West Shore Road – looking south© Images used with permission from the Smith Scott Mullan Associates The final business case for phase 1 of this ambitious new development at Granton Waterfront sets out how attractive local living for residents and people in the surrounding communities will be achieved. The proposed development includes 847 ‘net zero ready homes’, of which at least 45% of the homes will be affordable – 214 will be for social rent with the rest a mixture of mid-market rent and homes for sale. Some will also be suitable for families who require wheelchair accessibility. In addition to the new housing the development will include retail units, public and open green space, improved sustainable transport infrastructure including new and upgraded active travel routes and a mobility hub. The development will also be enhanced with a new primary school. The revitalisation of Granton Waterfront’s historic buildings and industrial built heritage, coupled with the delivery of new leisure and recreation opportunities, will significantly increase visitors to the area, creating new local employment opportunities. This exciting regeneration in the north of Edinburgh, set to start early next year and due for completion in 2033 will build on early action projects already underway in Granton Waterfront. The final business case for phase 1 was approved by the Finance and Resources Committee on Tuesday, 18 November, and will now be considered by Full Council on Thursday, 18 December.
