A specialist cycle shop in Edinburgh could be turned into a multi-storey residential flat if plans are approved by the council.
A change of use application has been submitted for 14 St Peter's Place, near Fountainbridge, which is currently housed by Laid Back Bikes, a store and showroom offering models such as E-bikes, Tandems and E-Trikes.
Although information on what would happen to the store is unknown, the applicant has expressed a desire to return the building to a residential property, using both the lower ground and ground floor.

Currently, the lower ground floor of the shop is used for storage, with retail space primarily available on the ground floor. According to submitted blueprints, the flat would consist of two bedrooms.
As well as selling a variety of speciality bikes, Laid Back Bikes also offer tours around the capital to areas such as Portobello or Cramond on a two-wheeled recumbent bike.
On the company's website, it states how one local couple have operated the partnership since 2005, offering recumbent tours from The Bicycle Works, close to The Meadows.
The planning application in question will now be considered by planning officials from the City of Edinburgh Council before a final decision is made. To view the application, you can do so here.
