Edinburgh swingers club investigated by council over lack of planning permission

A 'swingers club' claiming to be the biggest in Scotland is set to hold its grand opening in Edinburgh this weekend — despite having no planning permission in place.

Planning officers confirmed they are investigating the club at Sighthill's Bankhead Industrial Estate, which boasts multiple 'playrooms, kink and BDSM areas' plus a cinema and bar, following allegations it is operating without the council's consent.

Applicants behind the plans for 'After Dark', a re-branding of the After 8 Club which has relocated from Spittal Street, explained they were told by consultants permission was not required to be in place in time for the opening night on Saturday (October 15).
