HAYMARKET DEVELOPMENT - help save our Colonies Heritage

The new development proposals for the site at Haymarket, next to the Dalry Colonies, have now been submitted and are on the Council planning portal. If you recall, the plan for a 17 story hotel was approved by Edinburgh Council but thrown out by the Scottish Government. The developers have come back with a plan for a 10 story hotel. It looks pretty horrendous to me and I shall be objecting. If you care about Edinburgh's Colonies I would encourage you to do the same. You may recall that the Dalry Colonies Residents Association gave us a great deal of support and advice in our own, successful battle against horrendous architecture. The application number is 10/02373/FUL, and here is the link: http://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/publicaccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?keyval=L7AVE6EW0GY00&searchtype=PROPERTY&module=

The date by which you have to submit responses isn't obvious and I'm trying to find this out, but I think it may be soon.
