Up to 250 new Edinburgh homes set to be built on abandoned dump

A former waste transfer station could be set for 250 new homes, as a public consultation has been launched by the City of Edinburgh Council regarding the proposed redevelopment of the site.

The former Powderhall Refuse Depot, lying between Broughton and Warriston Road, includes a stables building that has laid derelict for years, with the main site behind it formerly being used as a waste incineration plant, constructed in 1893.

Now, the council have launched proposals which include replacing the site with up to 250 homes, almost half of which would be affordable.
