THE local community will have the chance to shape updated proposals for a new residential-led development at Maybury Quarter Edinburgh, the site of the former Saica packaging facility.
Promoted by Summix Capital, Maybury Quarter Edinburgh in the west of the city is described as providing a ‘unique opportunity’ to regenerate the former industrial location on Turnhouse Road, with the potential to deliver 1,000 homes.
The low-carbon neighbourhood aims to deliver a mix of uses. As well as residential, other uses could include senior living, hotel, commercial and retail. The brownfield site is allocated in the council’s City Plan 2030 for residential-focused redevelopment.
The second public consultation event will be held on Wednesday 11th September 2024 at Delta Hotels by Marriott, 111 Glasgow Rd, Edinburgh, from 2-7pm. This will provide the local community with the opportunity to view and comment on the proposals, prior to the submission of a planning application later this year.
This follows an initial consultation event in March and will respond to feedback and comments from that event and other stakeholder engagement. Further information will be made available at www.maybury-quarter.co.uk, which will host consultation materials from the day of the event.
Stuart Black, development director for Summix Capital, said, “We are delighted to be giving the local community the chance to view and feedback on our updated proposals for Maybury Quarter Edinburgh. The public comments received so far, along with other stakeholder feedback received, have proved invaluable in shaping this development, and we would like to thank all those who have taken the time to input into this process to date.
“Our exciting proposals provide a unique opportunity to redevelop one of the last major pieces of brownfield land in the city into a brand-new, sustainable mixed-use community. This will ensure that Maybury Quarter Edinburgh fulfils our vision to be one of the most exciting and best-connected development sites in Scotland.”
Saica has relocated to a purpose-built facility at Deans Road in Livingston.
