Gilberts Architects

Proposals to partly demolish a former art deco cinema in Edinburgh to create new homes have been rejected by councillors.

The derelict former Bucksburn Care Home could be knocked down to make way for new homes under new plans submitted to Aberdeen City Council. Bucksburn Care Home had to find emergency places for almost 20 residents when it shut down months after serious failings were uncovered by inspectors.

Gilberts Architects and CM Roofing and Building have submitted plans to turn a former petrol station on Biggar Road in Midlothian into an apartment block.
