Planning committee

Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 24 Jun 2026.

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the use would harm neighbours’ amenity and the loss of housing was not justified.
  • Five objections raised impacts including quality of life and housing loss, while support cited licensing and economic benefits.
