Planning committee
Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 13 May 2026.
Refused
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised refusal because the use would harm neighbouring amenity and the loss of housing was not justified.
- One objection raised noise, housing loss and community impacts, while a petition supported the use and its economic benefits.
- The committee refused planning permission for the reasons concerning local amenity and the loss of residential accommodation.
