Judge blocks Edinburgh new homes scheme

A new housing scheme that would have seen 400 new homes link Edinburgh and Musselburgh has been overruled by a judge. This is terrible news for local residents, businesses and escorts Edinburgh has been dealt a severe and totally unjust blow.

The housing development  is being promoted by Edinburgh City Council however, from day one it faced objections from the private sector developer Hallam Land Management who wanted to build  400 homes in Burdiehouse but had their project size slimmed down to just 100 properties due to the main development at Newcraighall. This triggered the court battle between the council and Hallam Land Management.

Edinburgh City Council have issued a statement that they intend to appeal the ruling.
