CCG and Cooper Cromar are collaborating on the delivery of 136 new flats across five separate blocks on the site of a former Lidl supermarket at Niddrie Mains Road, Craigmillar.

Positioned to form active streetscapes with shared surfaces the scheme will be arranged around a central amenity space and landscaped ‘buffer zones’ of hedging and planting providing a physical barrier between homes and public areas.

In a statement Cooper Cromar wrote: “The development site while located within the local town centre is an inward-looking development and we have taken the view to create a neighbourhood with an open green space as the focal point of the design proposals with a feature gateway and centrally located four-storey blocks that provide identity and exploit wider contextual views of the city and Arthur’s Seat.”
