Drum Property Group's plans for the redevelopment of a site on Leath Walk in Edinburgh have been given the go-ahead.

Drum's proposals for Stead's Place, near the foot of Leith Walk, were approved by the City of Edinburgh Council.

The Stead's Place site has been earmarked for development by the Council since 2008 and consists largely of an aged industrial estate and office space, together with a two-storey sandstone building facing directly on to Leith Walk.

Drum will now replace the existing industrial units with 148 high-quality apartments, including 38 affordable homes, as part of an attractive landscaped residential scheme linking to Pilrig Park and beyond. The sandstone building will be retained and refurbished and made available for commercial occupation, providing a vibrant local retail and business frontage onto Leith Walk.
