Niddrie Mains Road (redeveloping the former Local Office)

Overview

We are planning to redevelop a site within the local centre on the south side of Niddrie Mains Road, which will create a mixed-use development with new affordable homes above commercial premises creating varied a and vibrant edge to Niddrie Mains Road. 

It will link into the recently developed homes to the south and could deliver up to 125 new net zero carbon homes with a new commercial frontage on to Niddrie Mains Road. This will add to the regeneration of the area to date with over 1250 new homes alongside the new local office, schools, shops and parks delivered so far.
