Planning application
3F1 93 Spottiswoode Street Edinburgh EH9 1BZ
Works: Windows or glazing
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Remove the existing single-glazed sashes from ten sash and case windows in the flat and replace them with timber double-glazed sashes of the same size, appearance and opening mechanism (one-over-one sash windows) and replace the window sills with new timber half sills as required. This is to improve insulation and because the wood in some of the existing sills and sashes is starting to rot.

The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.

5 Harrison Road Edinburgh EH11 1EG
The land behind 5 Harrison Road has been in use as my garden since 1984 when I developed it (i.e. from when I purchased the house). It is a fenced-in plot of land similar to all other garden plots in the street. It contains mature plants, trees and lawn. There are no structures (except the fencing) on the land. I understand that the garden appears on the council mapping since that time.
