One private dwelling at Cameron House Nursery, Edinburgh

“Planning permission is sought for a change of use from former children's nursery (Class 10) to private dwelling (Class 9).”

“The application has been amended removing the new access from the proposal and the associated external works. As a result, the application relates only to the change of use with no external works proposed. Internal alterations do not constitute development requiring planning permission.”

“The application site relates to a T-plan, single-storey nursery school located on land between Cameron House Avenue and Cameron Park. The site is located on higher ground relative to the surrounding area and is accessed via gradual stepped path located between no. 13 and no. Cameron House Avenue.”

“The property is B-listed dating from circa 1930, recognised for the 22 secular stained glass panels showing children at play by William Wilson; designed for the school in 1937. Listed on 29.03.1996, LB ref. 43142. The B listed Cameron House is located to the south west of the site fronting Cameron House Avenue.”

“The proposal would preserve the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building. The proposal is therefore acceptable with regard to Sections 59 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.”

“The change of use is acceptable in principle and would support the continue use and long-term preservation of the listed building. It would be compatible with the surrounding residential area and would provide a satisfactory level of amenity for future occupiers and neighbouring properties. There are no material considerations which would outweigh this conclusion.”
