A NEW library is to form part of a Muslim education centre's plans to expand.
The Muslim Educational and Cultural Centre on Portobello's Fishwives Causeway wants to demolish its existing workshop and replace it with a newly extended library, meeting rooms and a caretakers flat.
The expansion will see the space available to the centre expand from the existing 200 square metres to 490 sq m.
Portobello-based architects Iain Abbot have drawn up the plans.
The application for the development has been lodged with the council and a decision is expected in the next two months.
The property was previously a builders' yard and a motor repair shop until the Muslim group took over in 2000.
