 A new district shopping centre for West Edinburgh was proposed by a public inquiry in 1987.The findings of the West Edinburgh Inquiry of 1989 were approved by the then Secretary of State for Scotland.The floor space in the shopping centre, which was originally called Maybury Park, was later scaled down to 9,290 m2 (100,000 sq ft) to protect nearby retail areas, such as Wester Hailes and Corstorphine.
