There are very few affordable workspaces around. It's also galling that the Palette kept the building occupied and busy when it would otherwise probably have been left derelict.</p> <p>Also, the comment that the new owners want to turn it into "facilities for the benefit of the local community”. It's currently being used as a place of employment and bringing in several hundred individuals into the area each day who will spend in local shops, whilst also providing things such as drop-in courses that anyone can attend. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18046#post-257884 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 18:43:29 +0000 crowriver 257884@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"The overall approved scheme for King’s Stables Road will be student accommodation, residential flats, a hotel and a series of commercial units."</p> <p>More of the same, basically. An increasingly homogenised cityscape is emerging fairly rapidly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18046#post-257856 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 14:48:24 +0000 chdot 257856@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Headline misleading, but possibly prophetic. </p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/art-quarter-plans-dropped-for-affordable-new-homes-1-4538714" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/politics/art-quarter-plans-dropped-for-affordable-new-homes-1-4538714</a> </p>
