Plans for abandoned office buildings in Gorgie are set to be approved, with student accommodation erected - despite objections from a local union.
The site, which sits on Westfield Road, is currently occupied by a two storey building as well as two residential cottages. The offices, which have stood on the grounds since the early ‘90s, will be torn down should plans go ahead.
The proposals have had dozens of objections, with the local Living Rent union campaigning against the development late last year. In September, community housing activist Ashley Graczyk said: “The situation is now spiralling completely out of control and Edinburgh Council need to get a handle on this.
