Edinburgh councillors pass Haymarket redevelopment plans
During a lengthy meeting of the planning committee, Edinburgh councillors voted ten-five in favour of the Haymarket redevelopment scheme, which will be built on the site of the former Morrison Street goods yard.

The Haymarket master-plan is the largest project to date that Edinburgh based Richard Murphy Architects has taken on.  Tiger Developments approached the practice when the site was for sale and their bid was successful in the summer of 2006.

The practice’s role has been to master-plan the entire site; to design the exterior of three office buildings working alongside CDA Architects; and to design a new 180 bed five star hotel.  A second three star hotel, designed by Sutherland Hussey Architects, is also part of the RMA master-plan.

The original planning application was made in September 2007. On the 30 April 2008 there was an Amended Drawing submission by Richard Murphy Architects to Edinburgh City Council Planning.
