Forth Ports has been granted both Detailed Planning Consent and Listed Building Consent by The City of Edinburgh Council for its "The Dry Dock at Harbour 31" development.

The project will regenerate land used for industrial port activities within the Port of Leith, transforming the site into a mixed-use development.

The new hub will introduce public spaces and open up previously inaccessible areas of the port to the wider community. It will feature workspaces made from repurposed shipping containers, while also preserving existing historical structures such as the former dry dock pump house, sheds, and rail tracks to maintain the site's character.

Pamela Smyth, Chief Legal and Property Officer at Forth Ports, said the company was "thrilled to receive positive consent" for the project. She added that the development would deliver a "vibrant, creative and commercial hub" that will be a positive addition to the ongoing regeneration of Leith and its waterfront. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with completion projected for late 2027/early 2028.
