Historic Environment Scotland ↗

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 about 77 m away: Edinburgh Town Wall, Flodden Wall and Telfer Wall, Heriot Place

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.

Checked on 2 November 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
