Episode Details

Westfield Court, a 70-year-old apartment block in Gorgie, won’t be listed by Historic Environment Scotland — clearing the way for demolition. Despite meeting listing criteria, HES sided with the City of Edinburgh Council’s development plans, which had already purchased some flats and were poised to buy more — a move they say influenced the decision. Tenant campaigners had backed listing as a safeguard, but warned that even with protection, the building’s deteriorating state would leave residents vulnerable. Now, the council will resume talks with remaining owners and offer support as they navigate the next steps.
