Edinburgh Council received notification of plans to build almost 100 new apartments on the site of the old social work offices.
The architects EMA prepared the application on behalf of Robertson Partnership Homes and the City of Edinburgh Council and it is believed the homes will be affordable options.
Situated on vacant brownfield land close to Wester Hailes train station and Westside Plaza Shopping Centre, the development will deliver much needed new-build affordable housing in the capital and is part of the wider regeneration of the Wester Hailes area.
