Planning committee

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

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the buildings have little architectural merit and their removal would preserve the conservation area’s character.
One material objection said demolition would clear the site for proposed new development, while archaeology raised no objection subject to a condition.
