Planning committee

Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 5 Aug 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

Officers advised refusal because the short-term let would harm neighbouring amenity and unjustifiably lose residential accommodation.
Twenty-four people supported the proposal and three objected, raising issues including housing, amenity and economic benefit.

Site constraints 4

Registered park or garden: The New Town Gardens

Nationally designated heritage. Its significance and setting carry great weight.

Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Historic Environment Scotland ↗

New Town 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.

15 listed buildings within 150 m

Nearest: 21 Windsor Street, Edinburgh, Grade A, 36 m away · 8 Grade A, 3 Grade B, 4 Grade C

The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.

Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

Not affected

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

Checked on 11 September 2026. 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.
