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.
