Plan to demolish pub to make way for student flats approved
Plans for new student flats at the site of the former Murrayfield Sports Bar in Gorgie were approved by a committee in Edinburgh. The proposals will create 80 units of student accommodation for the area which has nearby amenities for students and a direct public transport link to Edinburgh University's main campus. The developer said the proposals 'can also help shift students out of flatted accommodation to free up much needed housing during a 'housing emergency''. The site.

We're determined to make this a development of which Gorgie and the city can be proud and one that will provide an outstanding living experience for the students who choose to stay here.' Tony Banks, chief executive at EH1, said: 'It is good to see planning approved for this development. It will be a great addition to the city's accommodation for students and free up capacity in the stretched housing system in Edinburgh. We welcome this positive step and look forward to continuing to invest in the city as the project progresses.'
