Contractor named for Meadowbank student residences
February 12 2018
Planners had initially refused consent on the grounds that it would have a detrimental impact on surrounding air quality and was out of scale with its neighbours but this was overturned by the Scottish government.
This clears the way for Hardies to begin delivery of a 93-unit scheme in the Meadowbank district of the city, taking the form of a linear brick-clad block conceived to create a continuous urban frontage to Stanley Place.
It is hoped to have the block up and ready for the summer 2019 intake of students.
Circulation spaces will double as an acoustic barrier with the adjacent railway
Lounges and amenity spaces would be positioned along the south elevation

Will someone please explain how a space - for circulation or not - is to provide an acoustic barrier? The government's allowing the appeal weakens the council in try to secure some kind of quality in the appearance and materials externally - we guess the standards internally are appropriate to the isa.
