Bold new development approved at heart of World Heritage site

Archiseek / UK / Scotland / News / 2007 / April 2

A bold collaborative design by Comprehensive Design Architects (CDA) and Gareth Hoskins Architects [GHA] has won the backing of the City of Edinburgh Council. Planning officers recommended approval and the city council members supported the plans by 9 votes to 3. The design for St Andrew Square had received widespread acclaim by key stakeholders. The proposals for 3-8 St Andrew Square, owned by ING (UK) Property, involve redevelopment of the site of the former Scottish Provident HQ. The comprehensive redevelopment of the south side of the square will involve the selective demolition of existing buildings and the creation of a new complex of retailing units and offices with a limited number of high value apartments.
