A PAIR of semi-detached homes are set to be built in a former orchard in Portobello.

Head of planning Alan Henderson recommended the application for 25 Argyle Crescent be approved at a meeting of city planning chiefs on Wednesday.

He said access and boundary arrangements were acceptable, but some details on landscaping were needed.

He said: “The proposal has a scale and design which respects the character of the area and it does not infringe neighbouring amenities. It is recommended that the committee approves the application.”
