21 Century Homes - North Sighthill
North Sighthill Demolition
The homes at North Sighthill have now been demolished.
Planning Permission
The current Planning Permission in Principle
consent for the North Sighthill development expires on 11
August 2013. The consent was based on a masterplan prepared
for the Council by architects Broadway Malyan in 2009/10.
The Council submitted a renewal application to ensure the
consent remains live. The application is for renewal and no
changes are proposed to the existing planning permission
consent. This is a technical process to ensure continuity and
facilitate the redevelopment of North Sighthill.

Regeneration Plans
The redevelopment of the area will see up to 320 new homes built
as part of a new mixed tenure community comprising 50% affordable
housing (30% council homes for rent, 10% mid rent and 10% low cost
homes ownership) with the remainder for private sale.
Architects appointed for North Sighthill
City based architects firm Anderson Bell and Christie have been
