NEW POWDERHALL HOUSING
KEY FEATURES AND FIRST THOUGHTS
Edinburgh Council has submitted plans for Phase 1 of a mixed housing development on the site of the former Powderhall Waste Transfer Station at 165 Broughton Rd (24/01596/FUL).
Below we summarise some of the principal features of what, at first glance, appears to be an attractive and well-conceived addition to Edinburgh’s housing stock.
POWDERHALL JUNCTION – NEW PLANS
A community engagement event to discuss latest plans for the Broughton Road/McDonald Rd/St Mark’s Path junction will take place on Wednesday 24 January (3.30–7.00pm) in the Link building classrooms at Broughton Primary School.
The junction requires attention because of its proximity to the school and the imminent arrival of new housing on the sites of the former bowling greens and Powderhall Waste Transfer Station.
Consultants Stantec aim to encourage and prioritise active travel and make it safer.
