Planning applications lodged with the council’s planning department up to this week are detailed in the list embedded below.
As well as the council website and planning portal – where any comments must be made – there is also Harry Williams’ website here which covers all 32 local authorities.
Applications which are of interest this week include:
An application to put an advertising shroud on The Balmoral Hotel while it is upgraded.
An application has been made for Telecoms Apparatus 10 Metres West Of 97 – 98 Princes Street, New Town, Edinburgh – details here and another for Proposed Telecoms Apparatus 16 Metres West Of 5 Blackfriars Street Old Town Edinburgh – details here.
Craigiehall House Riverside Road, South Queensferry is to be converted into a hotel. The proposed hotel conversion will include extensions, alterations, demolition of outbuildings, new event venue in walled garden, and doocot restoration.
In Kaimes Renewable Energy Park in Liberton there is a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) for a Proposed Battery Energy Storage System in Burdiehouse Square.
On Forrest Road there is to be a new sign at number 55 for Randy’s Donuts which has many outlets worldwide but this is the first in Scotland.
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.
