A new mixed-use development at Baltic Street in Leith has been approved by the City of Edinburgh Council.

The development near the Shore will create student accommodation, affordable housing, retail units and a digital co-working space, whilst ensuring the conservation of a group of B-listed industrial buildings which previously formed part of the Edinburgh & Leith Gas Works.

Located within the Leith Conservation area, the project will bring a new lease of life to these historically important buildings.

Michael Laird Architects, who designed the scheme on behalf of Sundial Properties, said: "Congratulations to the design team, we look forward to progressing to the next stage of this project with our client, Sundial Properties."
