Planning applications lodged with the council’s planning department up to this week are detailed in the list embedded below.
Applications which are of interest this week include:
- A planning application has been lodged for the Dalton Scrapyard at 52-66 Salamander Street in Leith. This will include the demolition of the building on the site and the construction of a flatted development with student flats and commercial/retail at street level. 26/00557/FUL This is a revised application after the first one was refused. It will include 81 build to rent units, 42 affordable homes and 47 bed student accommodation with two commercial spaces.
- There is an application to construct a replacement concrete skatepark in the Dip in Burdiehouse Buen Valley Park. The new skatepark will be located next to the existing play area to link into the existing path network. The development is headed up by Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust on behalf of the council.
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.
