Plans for a new 1500-home village at Riccarton in Edinburgh with shops, a school, and a dedicated transport hub have been unveiled by developers.Details of the huge Wallace Land project on a greenbelt site north of Currie were revealed at a recent community meeting.Construction would be phased over five to 15 years if the plans are taken forward, and developers claim work on the site would support 300 jobs. The proposals have not yet been submitted for planning approval, as the site is not currently within the city’s Local Development Plan, a blueprint of where homes will be built over the next ten years.
