Plans to transform an Edinburgh warehouse into an indoor climbing centre have been granted after councillors voted against a refusal recommendation on Wednesday.
The unit, at East Telferton, near Portobello, was the subject of ambitious plans to build a climbing gym and café on behalf of The Climbing Hangar, who have venues in Liverpool, London and Sheffield.
Despite a recommendation for the application to be refused based on the fact it would "undermine the provision of business and industry units", a U-turn by councillors meant it was supported for approval by seven votes to two.
