Plans for development of 11 new Edinburgh townhouses in 'underused carpark'
Plans have been submitted for the re-development of an underused car park into 11 four-bedroom townhouses in Stenhouse.
Developers have filed plans for the townhouses to be erected in three clusters at the site between Ford's Road and Gorgie Road.
According to planning documents, the homes would occupy an unused car park area of Westwood House, which is located at 498 Gorgie Road.

The three-and-a-half-storey townhouses would also include roads, car parking, footpaths, sewers and drainage, soft and hard landscaping, bin storage and utility connections.
The site abuts the Water of Leith and developers say the terraced family homes will complement the recent residential conversion of Elfin Square, also by LAR, reports Urban Realm.
Planning documents state: "The proposal is for a new residential development of 11 dwellings at Ford's Road in Edinburgh.
"It is anticipated that this proposal will make a positive contribution to street-specific and wider scale residential development in the area and provide much-needed family housing in Edinburgh.
"A variety of services and amenities on Gorgie Road and the nearby Saughton Park are located within a few minutes' walk from the application site.
Images of the proposed properties show homes with sleek, dark grey cement cladding.
Documents further state: "The design of the buildings has been developed to present an interesting but simple appearance reflecting the distinctive sense of community and place the client is hoping to create.
"Unique but attractive external materials should ensure the new development ages well as it matures."

Austin's 25 largest multifamily mortgage lenders
The 25 largest multifamily mortgage lenders in Austin originated more than $776 million in purchase loans in 2024. Information was analyzed by ACBJ from HMDA-LAR data published by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. Figures include purchase loans originated in 2024 for multifamily properties — defined as buildings with five or more units — in the Austin area. Only mortgages used for property purchases are included; sales financed in other ways, such as commercial real estate loans, are not included. This week's List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — this year alone.
