Notes

Expansion of an existing Springfield site at The Wisp, immediately adjacent to Avant Homes' Edmonstone Village. Same general locality as Edmonstone Village, which Avant markets as an Edinburgh (EH16) development; note the neighbouring Shawfair/Craighall Village schemes just to the south-east are in Midlothian, so boundary should be double-checked before publishing.

Where this comes from

Council planning register (live). Planning decision of 2019; check it is still live before relying on it.

Buying into one of these, letting near one, or weighing the return.

A new estate in Portobello/Craigmillar brings first owners who later move on and let, tenants who want a modern home near the same schools and stations, and a supply figure worth knowing before you buy. Tell us which you are and the right person calls you back.
