Site constraints 3

South Side 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.
World heritage site 64 m away: Edinburgh World Heritage Site Boundary
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.
Historic Environment Scotland ↗
Also on the record
11 listed buildings within 150 m.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 23 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
