2-4 ABBEYMOUNT, EDINBURGH 2.4 SITE ANALYSIS

There is currently no vehicular access into the site, however there is lane running to the south of the site which currently provides access to existing garages. The single track lane is currently only accessed from the site by means of the fire escapes from the rear hall.

Pedestrian access to the existing ground floor commercial units is from Abbeymount and the hall to the rear is accessed by means of the existing pend access.

The site is bounded by an open communal garden to the north and a 2 storey traditional terrace to the south. A stone wall running along the East boundary separates the site from an open site, currently used as garaging and storage. To the West sits the 5 storey tenement that includes the existing ground floor commercial units of the application site.

The site benefits from views of Arthurs Seat from the lantern/upper storey of the SUMMER SUN existing hall and potentially a pleasant outlook onto communal gardens to the North. SUMMER SUN
