Ronnie Napier has submitted plans for the erection of a new four-storey flatted development containing eight flats on the site of a previously demolished bungalow, with associated landscaping, access and parking, at 191 Colinton Road.
Parking provision will be provided by 0.5 spaces per dwelling, including one accessible space, with sustainable means of transport preferred. Secure covered cycle storage for 20 bicycles is provided, with an additional four visitor spaces at the entrance. The applicant said: "Consisting of eight two-bedroom homes, the development has been carefully selected to respond to local housing needs while ensuring the development is both practical and sustainable. The building has been designed to achieve a balance: contemporary in expression yet firmly rooted in the architectural character of Colinton Road. Accessibility has been fully considered, with all apartments served by a central stair and lift."

The new mural in Colinton's Cuddies Lane is just the latest piece of artwork by Chris Rutterford. He was the man behind the Colinton Tunnel project, but he has also painted murals of Bannockburn, Tam O'Shanter and lots more. His trademark technique is painting real people into the figures in his pictures and he did the same with this new project, in which modern-day Colinton residents and others found themselves depicted in Victorian scenes of the village.
