'Swingers club' plan for empty Scots offices to be transformed into raunchy hangout

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A 'swingers club' is set to open in an Edinburgh industrial estate. The controversial plans for the 20-room members club have been met with criticism, with one local councillor saying they should be looked at "very closely".If given the go-ahead, former offices at Bankhead Industrial Estate will be converted into an night-time swingers club, reports Edinburgh Live.

Cornucopia, the company behind the plans, said the members-only club will "all be consenting adults" with no sex workers involved in the scheme.Permission is being sought to transform former Napier University offices within the industrial park in Sighthill into the raunchy hangout.

Swingers clubs around the UK exist as venues where couple will meet up and engage in sexual activities.Blueprints for the Edinburgh site show renovations would be carried out to subdivide the 6,200 sq feet space into around 20 private rooms.

The applicant said the venue on Bankhead Terrace would not be open during the day, whilst neighbouring businesses are operational, and added it would not cause "undue noise" to nearby properties.They also argued that whilst there has previously been "contention" surrounding the permitting of private adult venues within the city centre, the development would be suitable as it is "far more secluded and will not be easily accessible by members of the public or children".However, Labour councillor for Sighthill Ross McKenzie said the plans should be looked at "very closely" due to the remote location of the site.
