The proposal by AS Homes Scotland and S2 Architecture would see 90 houses, a mix of two, three and four-bedroom properties, on land on Myreside Street at Rigby Street.

Thirty-eight flats would be built in a four-storey block, nine with one bedroom and 29 with two bedrooms.

There would be 128 car parking spaces for residents and 32 for visitors.

The site was originally developed as a munitions factory during the First World War.

An existing metal-clad factory and brown brick building partly occupy the site. These were used until recently for steel fabrication.
