Report of Handling Application for Planning Permission 18/00944/FUL At 51 Restalrig Road, Edinburgh, EH6 8BE Alterations and change of use of existing vacant shop premises to form studio flat Item Local Delegated Decision Application number 18/00944/FUL Wards B13 - Leith Summary The proposal is contrary to the Edinburgh Local Development Plan, policies HOU5 and RET10, the Edinburgh Design Guidance and the non-statutory guidance for businesses in that it does not provide a satisfactory residential environment and would result in the loss of a premises for small business use. There are no material considerations on which to justify granting permission and therefore the application should be refused. Links Policies and guidance for LDPP, LHOU01, LHOU03, LHOU05, LRET10, NSG, this application NSGD02, NSBUS, Development Management report of handling – Page 1 of 8 18/00944/FUL Report of handling Recommendations 1.1 It is recommended that this application be Refused for the reasons below. Background 2.1 Site description The application site forms the ground floor of a tenemental property. The property is currently an empty commercial unit on the corner of Restalrig Road and Blackie Road. The surrounding area is predominantly residential with a scattering of small commercial units on the ground floor. 2.2 Site History There is no relevant planning history for this site. Main report 3.1 Description Of The Proposal The proposal is for the change of use from a class 1 (shop) to a studio flat (sui generis). The proposal seeks to remove all shutters and signage and to repaint the stone in a buff stone colour. New white uPVC windows are to be fitted into the existing openings with the lower half of the window being opaque privacy film. Internally the proposal seeks to remove existing doors and the counter and put in a new partition wall and door to create a bathroom and storage cupboard. 3.2 Determining Issues Section 25 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 states - Where, in making any determination under the planning Acts, regard is to be had to the development plan, the determination shall be made in accordance with the plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Do the proposals comply with the development plan? If the proposals do comply with the development plan, are there any compelling reasons for not approving them? If the proposals do not comply with the development plan, are there any compelling reasons for approving them? Development Management report of handling – Page 2 of 8 18/00944/FUL 3.3 Assessment To address these determining issues, it needs to be considered whether: a) The principle of the development is acceptable in this location; b) The proposals will result in an unreasonable level of neighbouring residential amenity; c) The proposal will result in an adequate level of amenity for future occupiers of the development; d) The proposals will have any traffic or road safety issues; e) The proposals will have any detrimental impact on flooding issues; and f) Any comments have been addressed. a) PRINCIPLE CHANGE OF USE The application site is not located within a town centre or within a speciality shopping street and the proposed external appearance of the property will be satisfactory. However, this will result in the loss of premises suitable for small business use and no evidence has been submitted to show the premises are not viable for small business use. It is therefore contrary to policy RET10. The non-statutory guidance for businesses states that applications for a change of use will need to prove that the quality and size of accommodation created is satisfactory. The proposal seeks to create a studio flat and a minimum of 36square metres is required to provide a satisfactory residential environment. The space provided only equates to 32 square metres and therefore is not acceptable. Policy HOU5 states that planning permission will only be provided where a satisfactory residential environment can be achieved, housing would be compatible with nearby uses, appropriate open space, amenity and car and cycle parking standards are met and the change of use is acceptable having regard to other policies in this plan including those that seek to safeguard or provide for important or vulnerable uses. The proposal is contrary to policy RET10 as detailed above. The proposal is contrary to HOU5, RET10 and the non-statutory guidance for businesses and is therefore unacceptable. b) AMENITY The proposal is for an existing building and it currently has no issues regarding neighbouring amenity in terms of noise, daylight, sunlight and outlook. The proposal is for a change of use from a class 1 (shop) to residential use and there will be no change in the footprint of the building and therefore will have no adverse impact in terms of neighbouring amenity. c) OCCUPIER AMENITY Development Management report of handling – Page 3 of 8 18/00944/FUL The Edinburgh Design Guidance states that the minimum floor space required for a studio flat, in order to provide a satisfactory residential environment, is 36 square metres. The proposed property measures 32 square metres and is therefore unacceptable in terms of providing a satisfactory residential environment. Storage requirements are 5% of the overall floor space and these have not been met. In regards to private open space Policy Hou3 states that a minimum of 20% of the total site area should be useable green space. The property was designed as a retail unit and is located on the corner of a tenement block and has no access to private green space. However, the property is within easy walking distance to Leith Links,which provides a large area of greenspace. The proposal is contrary to Edinburgh Local Development Plan policy HOU5 and the Edinburgh Design Guidance in failing to provide a satisfactory residential environment. d) TRANSPORT The Edinburgh Design Guidance states that a maximum of one parking space per property should be provided, the site provides no private parking, however is serviced by a good local transport network.

  • The Register of Burials in the Churchyard of Restalrig 1728
    lifelii p" I (SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY, INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854. c EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK.- EDINBURGH : t) hos PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY 1908. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER ANU COMPANY. 54- PREFACE. The village of Restalrig is situated in the parish of South Leith and on the eastern outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. It is a place of great antiquity, and in pre-Reformation times its collegiate church was the parish church of Leith. At the Reformation the church, which was dedicated to St. Triduana, was ordered by the General Assembly to be -razed and utterly cast down as a monument of idolatry, and the parishioners ordained to repair to St. Mary's Church at Leith, a sentence which was only too faithfully carried out. The edifice remained a ruin till the year 1836, when the present chapel of ease was constructed out of its remains. Though ceasing to be a place of worship after 1560, the churchyard continued to be a place of sepulchre, and after the disestablish- ment of Episcopacy in 1689 was used by the members of that body as a place of burial when denied the right to conduct service in other places. In 1726, with the sanction of John, Lord Balmerino, and James, Lord Coupar, his son, the proprietors of the Barony, the Friendly Society of Restalrig was constituted, and to its care the ruined church and church- yard were made over. The first members of this Society were Messrs.

These are: Preventing Crime and Disorder Securing Public Safety Preventing Public Nuisance Protecting and Improving Public Health Protecting Children from Harm In Edinburgh the Licensing Board has identified the Grassmarket, Cowgate and streets leading to it as a long established area of overprovision.

  • Proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Between Inverleith Place and the Goldenacre Path
    Proposed cycle and pedestrian improvements, between Inverleith Place and The Goldenacre Path Issue: QuietRoute 20 is an important part of Edinburgh’s network of routes for walking and cycling. The levels of traffic on parts of QuietRoute 20 are too high to meet the standards of the QuietRoute network. Purpose and context: The scheme will make it easier, safer and quicker for people walking and cycling along Inverleith Place, Inverleith Row and Warriston Gardens, travelling between Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path, and as part of wider journeys in the north of the city. This will help people travelling on foot and by bicycle to reach local and key destinations, including schools, workplaces, shops and parks. The Council is developing a network of cycle routes across the city, called the ‘QuietRoutes’ network. We know that heavy or fast traffic is the most significant barrier preventing people who want to cycle from doing so. To address this the QuietRoutes are designed so that people can cycle without having to travel in heavy or fast traffic. QuietRoute 20 links Inverleith, the Royal Botanic Garden, Canonmills, Leith Walk, Easter Road, Lochend Park and Restalrig on quiet roads and traffic free paths. Proposed scheme: The Council is proposing: • A segregated cycleway along Inverleith Place; • Improvements to crossing facilities at the junction of Inverleith Place, Arboretum Road and Arboretum Place; • A new signalised crossing on Inverleith Row, to the south of its junction with Inverleith Place; • A segregated cycleway on the east side of Inverleith Row between Inverleith Place and Warriston Gardens; • A new ramp to connect Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path.
