Decision finalised by the Council today

The decision was finally given the rubber stamping today! This is what Bob received from the Council:

"The following reasons for refusal were agreed

1. The proposal is contrary to Edinburgh City Local Plan Policy Des 1 (Design Quality and Context) as it would be damaging to the character and appearance of the area around it.

2. The proposal is contrary to Edinburgh City Local Plan Policy Des 3 (Development Design) as the development fails to have a positive impact on its setting due to inappropriate massing, scale and design and will have a negative impact on the amenity of the existing residents.

3. The proposal is contrary to Edinburgh City Local Plan Policy Hou 4 (Density) as it would result in unacceptable damage to the local character, environmental quality and residential amenity.

The Committee decided that there was not a strong enough reason for refusal on transport grounds.

The decision will now be issued and the applicant has 3 months to submit an appeal."
