Site constraints 6

World heritage site: Edinburgh World Heritage Site Boundary
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 ↗
Old 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.
Scheduled monument 61 m away: Edinburgh Castle/Caisteal Dhùn Èideann
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic Environment Scotland ↗
SSSI 61 m away: Arthur's Seat Volcano
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.
16 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: 7-8 Portsburgh Square, West Port, Edinburgh, Grade C, 58 m away · 2 Grade A, 7 Grade B, 7 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.
