Massive regeneration for Leith Docks gets green light
THE MASSIVE regeneration of Leith Docks was today granted outline planning permission by city councillors.
The unanimous vote in favour followed a mammoth planning committee meeting.
The scheme - one of the biggest planning applications ever to come before the council, is designed to create thousands of jobs, generate billions of pounds in investment and make Edinburgh's waterfront a "world-class" destination over the next 20-30 years.
It features more than 15,000 new homes, a new secondary school for 1000 pupils, three primary schools for more than 1300 pupils, a swimming pool, sports hall, pitches and skatepark.
