    A HUGE planned transformation of Granton Harbour said to be worth £300 million to the economy looks set to be killed off by the council.

    City officials claim the blueprint for the Edinburgh Marina lacks detail, leaves a question mark over affordable housing and fails to make enough of the waterfront location.

    They fear that the development – boasting a 120-bed hotel, a 400-berth dock and a swathe of shopping, leisure and retail space – could have a “significant adverse impact” on the city centre and criticised its height and scale.

    A HUGE planned transformation of Granton Harbour said to be worth £300 million to the economy has been given the go-ahead.

    Edinburgh Marina will feature a 300-berth dock, 2000 homes and retail space creating 800 jobs.

    A spokesman for the developers, Granton Central Developments Limited, said: “We are thrilled that consent has now been granted for the revised masterplan, due in part to the fantastic support of the local community who we would like to thank for their ongoing support.

    This is a wonderful Christmas present for the people of Granton, who have been forced to live for far too long with Granton Harbour in its current state. We’re very excited to start working towards bringing Granton Harbour to life.”

    The Chipwrapper must have a style guide for articles about planning applications that "look set to be killed off by the council" that rapidly have to be written as "been given the go-ahead", and vice versa.

    And it comes as city planning chiefs pushed through a revised masterplan for the new Edinburgh Marina development at Granton Harbour just before Christmas, paving the way for 2000 homes to be built alongside a 123-bed “conference and spa hotel” and 300-berth marina.
