Plans for the first phase of a £1.3b coastal town on Edinburgh’s largest brownfield site have been submitted.

Edinburgh council and Scottish housebuolder Cruden Homes plans to build 847 net zero homes at Granton Waterfront, of which 35% will be for affordable tenures. 

The homes will be wheelchair accessible and energy efficient, connecting to a low carbon heat network supplied by the UK arm of Swedish energy specialist Vattenfall.
