What is the flood risk as the Water of Leith isn't near? I'm glad the student flats have been punted but surprised and curious at this detail.

Haven’t they just finished student flats across the road even closer to the water of Leith ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 12 hours ago, hmfcbilly said: Genuine question...are they extending the uni's to accommodate these extra students or is there an actual shortage on affordable student digs in the city? To me, more student accommodation means more students in total, not less students using conventional flats. Unis will take on as many students as possible. More course being created, more academics being hired, universities growing... I'm not aware of any caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry hippo Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I agree that the flooding rejection reason seems bizarre and feels very vulnerable to appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 potentially refused by SEPA on grounds of a flood risk due to the new NPF4 guidelines of 200 years plus climate change which are causing everyone trying to get a newbuild application through planning an absolute nightmare if it shows up on the SEPA maps as having an issue. only speculating as i have not read the report but from a brief look at the SEPA maps it looks like that may be the case and would be a tough one to appeal.
