A landmark regeneration project to develop a £1.3bn connected and sustainable new coastal town in Edinburgh has reached a major milestone.

The Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to transform Edinburgh's largest brownfield site at Granton Waterfront has been published. Developed in partnership with Cruden Homes (East) Ltd, this project includes plans for over 700 net zero homes, of which at least 35% will be affordable, capacity for a primary school, commercial units, active travel routes and other sustainable transport infrastructure as well as attractive public and open space.

The City of Edinburgh Council is hosting a number of in-person consultation events to gather views on the proposal. Two events will take place on Tuesday 13 June from 4pm to 7pm and Saturday 17 June from 11am to 2pm at the Granton Station building, 1 Granton Station Square. Comments can also be submitted online.

An online event will be held on Thursday 22 June from 6pm to 7.30pm and a 'You Said, We Did' event will be held in person on Wednesday 23 August from 4pm to 7pm at 1 Granton Station Square.

The City of Edinburgh Council Leader, Cammy Day, said: "Sustainable regeneration like this is so important as we transition towards a greener economy in our Capital. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here to build a 20-minute neighbourhood completely from scratch with affordable net zero homes, shops, cultural and leisure and education facilities all close by.

"We've been consulting with people at every step of the way during this project so please be a part of this transformation of the north of the city and give us your views either at one of our events or online. This will help us to make sure we get it right for those who will be living in, working, and visiting this new area as well as everyone currently living in the many established communities nearby."
