The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 39 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.

Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that Committee approves the revised Marchmont, Meadows and Bruntsfield Conservation Area Character Appraisal. Paul Lawrence Executive Director of Place Contact: Iain McFarlane, City Plan Programme Director E-mail: [email protected] | Tel: 0131 529 2419 Report Marchmont, Meadows and Bruntsfield Conservation Area Character Appraisal Review 2. Executive Summary 2.1 On 22 August 2018, Planning Committee approved an updated programme of review of the existing conservation area character appraisals. This report presents the revised Marchmont, Meadows and Bruntsfield Conservation Area Character Appraisal (CACA) which updates the content and brings it in line other more recent CACAs. 2.2 The revised appraisal has been the subject of consultation with Historic Environment Scotland, Marchmont and Sciennes Community Council and the Southside Community Council. 2.3 No changes to the Conservation Area boundary are proposed. 3. Background 3.1 It is a statutory requirement in terms of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 for local authorities to periodically review conservation area boundaries and consider whether new conservation area designations are appropriate. 3.2 On 22 August 2018, Planning Committee approved an updated programme of review of the existing CACAs. This was based on the age of the character appraisal, with the earliest being given priority and development pressure, based on the number of applications submitted for planning permission and the extent of recent housing development.
