Councillors have called for more reports on the progress of Edinburgh’s waterfront regeneration over the next six months.

A city council committee heard how the massive regeneration of north Edinburgh has been scaled back to make way for more family housing.

The Waterfront Edinburgh Initiative, which will revamp 140 acres of Granton’s derelict shoreline, is set to be delivered five years early under a new business plan. Instead of building one and two-bed flats at the site, the board has opted to shift the focus onto three-bed flats and townhouses to attract more families to the area.
Councillors asked the firm to ‘bring forward further reports within the next six months, detailing how the company proposes to progress the longer-term issues’.
