Updated Edinburgh Academical redevelopment plans submitted
February 21 2013
The oldest rugby club in Scotland is planning to create a 2,500 seat stadium, clubhouse and museum in addition to a number of retail units fronting Comely Bank Road and Stockbridge.
Adopting a stone façade with glazed pavilions and timber canopy the new-look stadium is intended to promote Scottish Rugby.
Previous plans to redevelop the ground stalled owing to a lack of funding, leaving the club to operate from a series of temporary portacabins.
Public realm enhancements will be made to Comely Bank Road & Stockbridge
The scheme sits on the edge of the New Town conservation area

Balloons, we need more balloons! The proposed shop units on Comely Bank Road look rather dated and lacklutre. We need better quality 'background' buildings.
