Site constraints 3

Merchiston and Greenhill 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.
Also on the record
Scheduled monument about 159 m away: Union Canal, Fountainbridge to River Almond; 9 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3

Checked on 1 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. 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.
