Planning Permission in Principle for the whole Newcraighall site was granted
by East Lothian Council in October 2019 (18/00485/ppm). That permission
allowed for a ‘Mixed Use Development comprising residential development,

(including Class 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6), employment uses, community facilities,
residential neighbourhood centre (including Class 1, 2, 3 and 10), playing
fields, changing facilities, public park(s) and associated works’.
Persimmon Homes are currently building out land between the A1 and the East
Coast rail line south of the Queen Margaret University buildings for 473 new
homes.
Further residential development opportunities are being progressed to the
north within the City of Edinburgh administrative area.
The subject site, comprising c. 15 acres (6. 07 Ha), is identified as
employment land within this Masterplan.
Adjacent land will be developed for new housing with a primary school,
proposed on land to the south east and a new junction onto the A1 immediately
east of the subject site due for completion in Q3 2023.
The subject site lies less than 1 mile southeast of Fort Kinnaird, currently
the second largest retail park in the UK.
Once completed, works to the junction at Queen Margaret University will
provide excellent access to the A1 in all directions, allowing easy access to
Edinburgh City Centre, East Lothian, Midlothian and southern Scotland as well
as the Scottish central belt via the City of Edinburgh Bypass, which is
located approximately 0. 5 miles, to the south.
