All of the planning applications made to the council’s planning team this week are shown on the list below.
Any property owner seeking to build, improve or alter their home or commercial premises must have the correct consents. This begins with a planning application and usually progresses all the way to a completion certificate.
Some applications for large developments such as purpose built student accommodation have been referred to the government Reporter after refusal by the council. Alterations to some buildings may also need listed building consent which is dealt with simultaneously.
There is a class of alterations which are considered “permitted developments” and will not need any planning permission. There is more guidance here.
There are not many applications this week probably due to this being half term but some applications to note are as follows:
20 metre high mast with 6 antennas and a dish at 28 Craighall Road Trinity
Upgrade of an existing telecommunications base station at Polwarth Parish Church
Non-illuminated vinyl advertisements at 101-103 St James Crescent EH1 3AD – at St James Quarter
There are several change of use applications from offices to serviced apartments in the New Town and many applications for certificates of lawfulness for using properties as short term lets.
