SOCIAL enterprise Edinburgh Palette has lodged plans for a huge new sea front premises with business incubation and market facilities.
The charity behind St Margaret’s House, Ferry Road, and Stanley Street premises has to move with the planned redevelopment of its flagship site.
It includes creation of more creative workspace and associated uses to create a new community hub at West Shore Road, Granton.
The application is for full planning permission for mixed-use development comprising creative studio and business incubation space, workshop manufacturing and storage with ancillary retail, events space, indoor and outdoor food market, food outlets, leisure uses and associated landscaping, "utilising conversion and alterations to existing industrial unit and redevelopment of associated land".
The design statement for Edinburgh Palette includes an indoor events space with capacity for 500 people and "an external leisure use".
“This will provide a first of its kind welfare experience utilising traditional Finnish sauna principles and educating its guests on the health benefits of sauna,” it said.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
