Controversial plans to demolish a building within an Edinburgh conservation area and replace it with an apartment block are finally set to go ahead following numerous delays.
The proposals in question, for 50 Pilrig Street, were the subject of a public uproar after initially being presented in 2021. A development management and sub-committee meeting on Wednesday, March 1, ruled that the development may now go ahead.
This comes after the developer agreed to pay a sum of £25,000 towards the tram network in the area following the application previously being granted in January 2022, subject to such legal agreement being secured as well as planning conditions and informatives.
