Large commercial plot with planning potential close to Edinburgh and rail links.
Approximately 22.5 acres (9.1 ha) of greenfield land fronting the A7
Two access points to be formed from the A7; direct arterial frontage
Resolution to grant PPP (ref 22/00588/S42) for Class 4 and Class 5
Permission conditional on updated s75 registration (must be completed)
Potential for convenience retail / supermarket per local plan (subject consent)
Close to Gorebridge/Newtongrange stations and 13 miles from Edinburgh
Lower-level tree area to north-west; site largely undulating greenfield
Area records high deprivation; development will require infrastructure works
An extensive commercial development opportunity offering approximately 22.5 acres (9.1 ha) immediately fronting the A7, 13 miles south of Edinburgh. The site benefits from two proposed access points off the A7, clear frontage to the main arterial route, and close proximity to Gorebridge and Newtongrange railway stations and the adjacent Redheugh residential expansion of ~700 units.
A resolution to grant Planning Permission in Principle (ref 22/00588/S42) was made on 10 January 2023 for Class 4 (office, R&D, light manufacturing) and Class 5 (general industrial). Permission will be granted for five years once an updated s75 agreement is registered. Policy TCR2 and Figure 4.4 of the adopted Midlothian LDP also identify the site as a potential location for convenience retail or supermarket, subject to securing planning consent.
The site is largely greenfield with a lower-level tree area to the north-west and higher ground across the remainder, offering expansive rural and woodland views. Connectivity to utilities is supported by fast broadband and average mobile signal; local amenities and bus services are nearby. Flood risk is recorded as none.
Material considerations: the planning position is conditional on completion of an updated s75; development will require access formation works from the A7 and general on-site infrastructure provision. The wider area records high deprivation and local demographic classifications that may influence workforce, retail demand and funding options. Development plots are offered from 1 acre up to the full 22.5 acres; design & build and long leasehold plot arrangements can be considered.
