Planning committee

Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 1 Oct 2025.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

Officers advised granting permission because the retrofit would protect the listed building, conserve the area and improve its quality, subject to conditions.
Historic Environment Scotland supported the energy-efficiency improvements; one letter supported the investment and one general letter was received.
The committee resolved to grant planning permission subject to the stated conditions, reasons and informatives.
