Proposed Development
2007
An exhibition has opened at Gallery Cafe, Port
Edgar. It features artists' impressions and maps of a proposed
developments at Port Edgar, a former Royal Navy base, immediately to the
west of the southern end of the Forth Road Bridge at South Queensferry.
In recent years, it has become a marina with
sailing school.
It is proposed to build new shops and restaurants
around a major public square at Port Edgar harbour and to install new
pontoons to increase the number of berths at the marina from 320 to 500.
Major boat storage facilities are also planned.
Surplus land has been earmarked for new housing
and is expected to be put on the market in March 2006. The total
cost of this development is estimated to be £13m, but the council hopes
that £10m of this cost will be funded by a new residential development of
150 flats and townhouses at the harbour.
Detailed plans for the Port Edgar development are
expected to be lodged early in 2007, enabling the work to be completed by
2010.
