Powderhall

Some clarity, at last

Spurtle has been following the lack of obvious progress in completing refurbishment of the Powderhall Stables as artist studios, micro offices, and public meeting space.

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.

COUNCIL SUBMITS DETAILED PROPOSALS

City of Edinburgh Council has now submitted more detailed plans for the former Powderhall bowling greens on Broughton Road (21/00381/FUL).

City of Edinburgh Council has brought forward plans by Collective Architecture to repair, redevelop, and landscape the Category B-listed Powderhall Stables at 165 Broughton Road (20/03162/FUL).

The aim is to produce affordable work, artist-studio, and event spaces, with an emphasis on flexible uses indoors and outside, by the end of next year.
