Plans have been submitted to the City of Edinburgh Council that would see part of the Tesco Metro on Nicolson Street demolished to make way for 32 flats on the street behind the store.
The modern new dwellings on Davie Street would see the back end of Tesco bulldozed, although the store will continue to trade as usual.
The plans submitted to the council on behalf of Manson Architects and Planners note that: "The proposed flats would be constructed above the rear elevation of the existing Tesco Metro store on Nicolson Street, with pedestrian and cycle access taken from Davie Street.
