The conservation area is bounded by Ferry Road to the north, the western boundary of Fettes College, the eastern boundary of Warriston Cemetery and Comely Bank/Water of Leith/Glenogle Road to the south. The boundary includes Fettes College, Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden, Warriston Cemetery and Tanfield. The area falls within Inverleith, Forth and Leith Walk wards and is covered by the Stockbridge/Inverleith, Trinity and New Town/Broughton Community Councils. The population of Inverleith Conservation Area in 2011 was 4887. Dates of designation/amendments The conservation area was originally designated in October 1977.

A conservation area character appraisal was published in 2006, and a management plan in 2010. The Stockbridge Colonies were removed from the Inverleith Conservation Area boundary in 2013 to form a separate conservation area.

  • 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.

    Planning Committee 10am Thursday 8 August 2013 Pilrig Conservation Area Item number Report number Wards Leith Walk Links Coalition pledges P40 Council outcomes CO19 Single Outcome Agreement SO4 Mark Turley Director of Services for Communities Contact: Jack Gillon, Principal Practitioner E-mail: [email protected] | Tel: 0131 469 3634 Executive summary Executive summary Pilrig Conservation Area Summary The purpose of this report is to advise Committee of the outcome of the consultation exercise on the potential designation of the Pilrig Conservation Area. This report provides details of the consultation responses and recommends the designation of the Pilrig Conservation Area. Recommendations It is recommended that the Council approves the designation of the Pilrig Conservation Area with an extended boundary to Leith Walk. Measures of success The designation of the Pilrig Conservation Area and the future protection of its character and appearance. Financial impact Additional staff and resources could be required to process additional applications. Equalities impact The aim of conservation area status is to enhance the quality of the area. This has the potential to improve the quality of life and supports sustainable communities. There are no predicted negative impacts on equalities. Sustainability impact Conservation of the built environment minimises the use of natural resources and helps to reduce carbon emissions. The proposals in this report will help achieve a sustainable Edinburgh because the conservation and management of the historic environment contributes directly to sustainability in a number of ways. These include the energy and materials invested in a building, the scope for adaptation and reuse, and the unique quality of historic environments which provide a sense of identity and continuity.
