A Manx-based investment company is involved in a planning battle over land owned by Edinburgh Napier University earmarked for a housing development.
The university, along with Edinburgh-based Sundial Properties and Isle of Man-registered Mountgrange, want to build 116 new homes on the historic Craighouse campus.
However, the scheme is facing criticism from an organisation called the Friends of Craighouse – and the project was dealt a blow after the city’s council promised to preserve the green spaces and prioritise brownfield sites for development.
The Friends of Craighouse says it has a petition of 5,000 signatures against the plans, which have yet to be submitted to the council.
