Site constraints 5

West End 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.

World heritage site 46 m away: Edinburgh World Heritage Site Boundary

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

18 listed buildings within 150 m; SSSI 256 m away: Arthur's Seat Volcano; Radon affected area, class 3.

Not affected

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