Hotel and pod hotel at 109, 110 111, 112 Princes Street, Edinburgh
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 6 Aug 2025.
What was proposed
The application proposed changing existing premises into a hotel and pod hotel, with a rooftop extension, alterations and associated works.
“Application for Planning Permission 109, 110, 111, 112 Princes Street & 144 - 150 Rose Street, Edinburgh.”
“Proposal: Change of use of existing premises to form hotel and pod hotel (Class 7) and associated uses with rooftop extension, alterations and associated works.”
Officer report
Earlier committee decision
On 18 March 2025, the committee resolved to grant permission subject to a legal agreement, but the tram contribution was later corrected.
“On 18 March 2025, the Development Management Sub-Committee resolved to grant planning permission, subject to the conclusion of a legal agreement for developer contributions, including the net sum of £237,648.48 towards tram infrastructure. However, the correct net tram contribution sum is £162,111.64. This is due to previous errors in the figures for the existing and proposed tram contributions.”
Officer report
Corrected contributions
The correct tram contribution was £162,111.64, producing a total infrastructure contribution of £375,393.64 including public realm improvements.
“The total developer contribution equals the above sum for tram infrastructure (£162,111.64) plus £213,282 towards public realm improvements. The latter figure is based solely on the proposed additional floorspace of 1394.19 square metres (i.e. 1394 x £153) and no adjustment is required.”
“An amended legal agreement is necessary to secure the correct total infrastructure contribution of £375,393.64. The previous total contribution calculated was £450,930.48.”
Officer report
Legal agreement
The draft legal agreement was close to agreement, with signing the only outstanding matter, and officers recommended agreeing the revised tram contributions.
“The draft terms of the legal agreement are close to agreement and there are no outstanding matters to be concluded other than signing. It is recommended that the revised tram contributions are agreed.”
Officer report
The committee decision
The committee granted planning permission subject to concluding the legal agreement for developer contributions.
“24/05733/FUL - report by the Chief Planning Officer To GRANT planning permission subject to the conclusion of the legal agreement for developer contributions.”
