Temporary festival venue hub at Proposed Fringe Festival Venue Site Teviot Place, Edinburgh

“The site is an area of hardstanding that forms part of the University of Edinburgh grounds. It is located within the city centre, Southside Conservation Area and Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site as defined within City Plan 2030 (LDP). The following listed buildings are in immediate proximity to the site:”

“- University of Edinburgh, McEwan Hall, Including Railings, Gates and Gatepiers between Hall and Reid School of Music, 15 Bristo Square, Edinburgh (LB27993) Category: A”

“22/01359/FUL Proposed Fringe Festival Venue Site Teviot Place Bristo Square Edinburgh Edinburgh Festival Fringe venue site comprising one temporary performance venue, bar, toilets and ancillary offices and storage. Granted 17 June 2022”

“22/01360/FUL Proposed Fringe Festival Venue Site Teviot Place Bristo Square Edinburgh Edinburgh Festival Fringe venue site comprising one bar and ancillary storage. Granted 17 June 2022”

“The proposal would result in minor harm to the setting of listed buildings. However, this harm would occur for a temporary period only and the proposal would help support Edinburgh Fringe Festival contributing to significant economic and cultural benefits for the city. On balance these benefits outweigh the short-term harm to the setting of these listed building therefore provides reasoned justification for granting planning permission.”

“It would not harm the qualities of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh World Heritage Site. The design is acceptable on a temporary basis as it would not result in any long- term impact on the townscape character. No adverse impact on neighbours' amenity would occur.”
