Cycle and refuse storage have been reconfigured, to ensure the refuse storage meets current Council requirements. 4. Minor amendments to window positions to reflect floor plan changes. 5. Window cills have been raised to omit infill panels to ensure safe window cleaning is permitted. 6. PV panel provision on roof has been increased to meet current energy requirements.

Site constraints 2

Leith conservation area

Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.

15 listed buildings within 150 m

Nearest: 7 Stead's Place, Edinburgh, Grade B, 40 m away · 1 Grade A, 11 Grade B, 3 Grade C

The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
