Edinburgh University’s Holyrood North project received planning permission in 2012. Accessed from Holyrood Road, the intention is to provide new retail and social space with accommodation for 924 students, creating a new postgraduate urban village.
With demolition of relatively modern buildings complete, a strategy agreed as part of the 2009 planning permission, building the new is well underway. The whole project has a completion date of 2017. A public consultation was held in 2010: www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/estates-buildings/news/h...
Architect John Hope’s master plan aims to reinstate the historic urban form of this part of Edinburgh’s Old Town by embedding the historic closes or narrow alleys that ran from the Canongate to Holyrood Road. This built form is sometimes described as a fishbone pattern. Within it access for vehicles is limited and there are small pockets of semi-public space.
