BP Investment Management Ltd submitted plans last month to turn the former Poundland store unit at 2 Fruitmarket Place into a new 24-hour JD Gym. The vacant unit is located within Edinburgh West Retail Park, between the Aldi and M&S Food stores, and is 698sqm in total. The proposal is to install a mezzanine of 683sq.m and change the use of the unit to a gym Class 11. In the planning documents, the applicant said of the plans: "The proposed gym will enhance vitality and viability by being open outwith normal shopping hours and encourage a mix of uses."

Caroline Freedman applied for a change of use application on September 9 to turn this picture framing workshop into a new restaurant at 8 Antigua Street at the top of Leith Walk. There are no external alterations proposed. The kitchen would be to the rear of the shop floor. New signage is proposed and a possible new paint scheme. In the planning documents, the applicant said: "It is a small unit. The change from retail workshop to restaurant should not lead to any adverse impacts. It would be entirely in keeping with the character of the area. As it is beneath residential properties, the main issue will be protecting residents from cooking smells and noise from the premises. The fact that this unit is lost within so many class 3 (restaurant) uses is detrimental to the viability of the unit as a retail unit, and it would be far more economically beneficial to operate as a class 3 use. The existing use is historic and has only continued as the current occupier has perpetuated a family business over the past century. This is sadly about to end and it is not likely that this would now be seen as a suitable business or retail location. The proposed change of use is the best way forward."

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."
