Plans for a new luxury retirement village with its own bistro, sauna and private cinema have been approved.

The 104-home development on the Granton waterfront will also include a library, landscaped gardens and a 24-hour concierge service for residents.

Planning permission has been granted to Edinburgh Marina Holidays for the homes, which will be available for people aged 55 and over.

Designed by architects Wilson and Gunn, the retirement complex is part of the £500m Edinburgh Marina redevelopment.

Edinburgh Marina Holding's Kevin Fawcett said: "Living For Retirement will bring a unique new offering to the Edinburgh property market delivering a level of design and service that raises the bar above any retirement living options currently available in the city.

"The creation of Edinburgh's first prime waterside residential quarter, encompassing our Living for Retirement concept, adds major impetus to the city's attraction as one of the UK's most attractive and liveable lifestyle destinations."

Detailed planning permissions for the remaining elements of the residential quarter are expected early this year, with construction scheduled to begin towards the end of 2018.
