Proposal of Application Notice: PAN Consultation Pennywell Phase 3
Overview
This project is the final phase of the wider Pennywell Regeneration Masterplan which has been ongoing for over 10 years.
The Masterplan has delivered new mixed tenure housing and delivered new community buildings which include The Macmillan Hub (adjacent to the development site) a mixed-use community space offering a new home for the library, an early years centre and café facilities together with an enhanced art space for North Edinburgh Arts and social homes.
The site of this development is currently occupied by the vacant Muirhouse Shopping Centre which is due for demolition. The site is bounded to the east by Pennywell Road where a new active travel corridor is being considered.
The new Macmillan Hub is located to the west of the site with Macmillan Square to the north, creating the opportunity to complete the southern edge of the square and transform the existing public realm to create a meaningful and vibrant external space for events and community use.
A “Proposal of Application Notice” has been submitted to The City of Edinburgh Council to commence the pre-application consultation process. The proposals for this scheme are for ‘a mixed-use development comprising of between 85 to 95 new Council homes with potential for commercial unit(s) on the ground floor, along with associated site development, landscaping, open space, access, drainage and servicing and other external works.’
This is the first of two planned pre-application consultation events. The purpose of this first event is to explain the initial proposals and to seek your feedback to help inform the development proposals for the site.
This consultation is taking place in advance of the submission of a full planning application to The City of Edinburgh Council.
The general description of development is:
‘Delivery of the final block (Block 3) of the fi nal phase (Phase 3) of the wider Pennywell regeneration project. The proposals are for a mixed use development comprising 85 to 95 new Council homes with potential for commercial unit(s) on ground fl oor (shop, food or drink uses), along with associated site development, landscaping, open space, access, drainage and servicing and other external works.’

Why your views matter
It is important to us that we gather valuable feedback and suggestions through this consultation process and meetings with stakeholders. This will inform the next stages of the design and planning process, prior to submission of a detailed planning application.
A second consultation event is proposed for the 2nd of December 2024 where further details of the proposals will be presented.
It is anticipated that a detailed planning application will be submitted in January 2025. City of Edinburgh Council is keen to hear your views. Your comments will help inform the final proposal.
