Planning committee

Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 13 May 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

Officers advised refusal because the short-term let would harm neighbouring amenity and the loss of housing was not justified.
Twenty-two representations supported the proposal, citing economic benefits, no harm to residential amenity and compliance with licensing requirements.

Site constraints 4

New Town 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.

Registered park or garden 42 m away: The New Town Gardens

Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic Environment Scotland ↗

Also on the record

4 listed buildings within 150 m; SSSI 375 m away: Arthur's Seat Volcano.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 2 November 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
