Planning committee

Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 13 May 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised granting permission because the change would preserve heritage, fit the mixed area and avoid unacceptable neighbour impacts.
Most comments objected over amenity, housing, transience, transport, heritage and community effects, while others supported the reuse and economic benefits.
The decision was to grant planning permission subject to the stated conditions, reasons and informatives.
