Plans have been put forward to develop new homes on disused land which is

currently part of Kingsknowe Golf Club in Edinburgh.

The development marks a return to developing homes for Prospect Community Housing, who last completed new homes in 2007. The homes will be designed to achieve the Scottish Government Greener Standard of Sustainability and will be funded through a mixture of private finance and Scottish Government grant funding via the City of Edinburgh Council.


The proposed development will be a mixture of mid-market properties, targeted at households on low to moderate incomes, and social rented properties. It is anticipated that the work will begin on site by Spring 2020.

Brendan Fowler, Director of Prospect, said: "This development will allow us to make a significant contribution to the shortage of affordable housing in Edinburgh. We are a community based organisation focussing on the area of Wester Hailes, and these properties will make a significant difference not only in the lives of those we house, but also in the wider area."
