morgan mcdonnell architecture ltd achieved planning permission this week for their regeneration proposals at advocate's close within the heart of edinburgh's old town.

the mixed use development, which is being project managed by Graham + Sibbald for Station Properties Ltd of edinburgh, comprises 80 residential units alongside ground level commercial accommodation in one of the world's most recognisable built environments which will breathe new life into a long neglected part of the world heritage site.

the proposal, which has been in development for over a year, has been supported throughout by extensive and constructive consultation, both with the cockburn association, "edinburgh's civic trust", and the city of edinburgh council, as well as residents and other local parties.
