Vita Group buys Edinburgh office scheme for mixed-use project Vita Group has acquired 15 Dalkeith Road, a prominent site on a main route into Edinburgh’s city centre, for a mixed-use project.

And instead of decent affordable housing for the homeless the council buys up a PBSA block before completion to house them in a student hostel made up of bedsits.

Screenshot of text: "The Council has purchased Northfield House to provide alternative accommodation for people who are homeless and local families who would otherwise be stuck in temporary or B&B accommodation. This is part of a new scheme the Council is rolling out across the city to give families in difficult circumstances a safer, more stable, longer-term place to live. This is a finalised plan. The Council already owns the building."

And by the way, a #PBSA block can suddenly morph into something else before it has been completed. From MP Ian Murray's eMagazine (Sep 2nd).

Purpose built student accommodation under construction in the suburbs at Lasswade Road, Liberton, Edinburgh. Over 100 modular studio flats pinned together in a large four-storey block and being finished externally in brick.

#Edinburgh has new #planning guidance for purpose-built student accommodation ( #PBSA ) including new build, change of use and conversion. Looks as if cluster flats will be preferred over studios. #housing #development
