Plans for a new sports and outdoor centre in north Edinburgh have been given the go-ahead.
Proposals for the Bangholm Sports and Outdoor Centre were approved by Councillors on the Development Management Sub-Committee.
The building will be located next to Trinity Academy and create a new campus with the sports pavilion being the first phase in a proposed redevelopment of the school's facilities.
It will include a four-court sports hall, gym hall, dance studio and fitness suite, and will become the new home to the school's PE department.
Cllr Ian Perry, Education Convener, said: "It's great news that these plans have been approved today as the school and wider local community are really going to benefit from these purpose-built sport and outdoor centre buildings.
"The new sports venue will boast a four court hall, gym hall, dance studio and fitness suite and although it will primarily be used by Trinity Academy for school PE, wider community groups will also have access to the facilities."
