A bid to build houses on the site of a former Edinburgh train station has been dropped after locals feared the development would block any future re-opening of the railway stop.
Portobello residents hit back at proposals they said would represent a "massive loss" to the community if given the go ahead.
In objections to plans it was pointed out the land at Station Brae, off Southfield Place, is the historic site of Portobello railway station which closed in the 1960s but the council has indicated could be re-opened in years to come.
