Work has officially started on a controversial housing estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh, five years after the initial proposals were submitted to the council.
Taylor Wimpey are set to deliver 132 new homes at its Lauder Grove development, just off Glasgow Road in Ratho Station. After the plans were drawn up, locals initially hit out due to fears surrounding traffic congestion.
Despite objections, the development is set to include a range of modern and attractive two-bedroom apartments, as well as two, three, four and five-bedroom homes.
