Liberton: Student accommodation

Student accommodation block providing 148 beds in 124 units by Lanark Student Living, a private company based in Harrow. Originally planning was granted for 89 self-contained units. This private PBSA complex is next to the King's Buildings campus of the University of Edinburgh.

 

The structure is composed of prefabricated modular cells which are gradually being hoisted into postion using two yellow cranes. Design by Susan Stephens Architects (now 56three).

 

224 - 234 Mayfield Road, Edinburgh (planning application 20/00487/FUL). The site was previously The Braidburn Inn and a 1930s garage, formerly J C Todd. The Braid Burn flows between the sites of these two properties (Mayfield Road culvert). There is a long history of flooding from Braid Burn.

 

The development was stated to comply with the development plan, the council's guidance for Purpose Built Student Accommodation and design guidance. It was decided there was no unacceptable loss of residential amenity or road safety issues. The application was referred to Scottish Ministers due to an outstanding objection from SEPA. Scottish Ministers decided not to call-in the application. This area has suffered flooding in the past.
