Edinburgh City Council will meet to discuss the pre-application report on a major new development North East of Ingliston Park and Ride that would include a new neighbourhood of mixed residential housing, hotels and supporting infrastructure.
The proposed 500 metre development on Eastfield Road is called West Town and would be a major new residential development on the outskirts of the city. Currently, the site is predominantly agricultural as well as a decommissioned runway and airport landing but is currently cut through by the tramline to the airport.
West Town, if the council goes ahead with the application, will add residential housing, student accommodation, build to rent housing and affordable housing. It will also develop areas for businesses, general industrial uses, educational uses, retail and food and drink uses.
