Planning application
Liberton Fire Station 19 Kirk Brae Edinburgh EH16 6HH
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Non-material variation application to 25/02427/FUL. Remove existing masonry wall down to the higher ground level and add a new concrete coping to the remaining wall; Install metal posts and security fence panels to the areas NOT adjacent to the existing properties; Masonry directly adjacent to the existing properties is to be made good. Note this may prove impossible and in which case approval from the property owners will be sought to replace those sections with security fencing also; Replace all existing and proposed palisade fencing to the west and north sides with security mesh fencing for consistency.

The process from here
This application is with City of Edinburgh for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About conditions applications
How this application type works
This type of application deals with conditions attached to an existing permission, either by supplying the details a condition requires, called discharging it, or by asking to vary or remove one. It does not reopen the principle of the permission itself. Building often cannot lawfully start, or continue past a set stage, until the named conditions are discharged.

Upon investigation for the building warrant we have found that the garage has no foundations and that it would be easier to demolish it and start from scratch. To this the applicant is now looking to make the space slightly larger as per the submitted plans.
