West End 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.

19 listed buildings within 150 m

Nearest: 176, 178, 180 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, Grade B, 45 m away · 3 Grade A, 12 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.
