Site constraints 3

Inverleith conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.

Registered park or garden 61 m away: Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Registered parks and gardens, battlefields, world heritage sites and protected wrecks are designated heritage assets: harm needs clear and convincing justification.

Nearest: St Colm's Education Centre And College (Annie Small Centre), 18 Inverleith Terrace, Edinburgh, Grade B, 40 m away · 6 Grade B, 2 Grade C
