Planning application

71 Silverknowes Gardens Edinburgh EH4 5ND

Awaiting decision City of Edinburgh 25/04313/CLP Certificate of Lawfulness (proposed)

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

I am seeking a certificate of lawfulness for the installation of a single stand alone pre fabricated decorative garden privacy screen. The screen will be secured either in ground or above ground (dependent on the chosen surface of the driveway) . It will be 1.9m high and 1.0m wide. It will be positioned between the driveways of No. 71 and No. 73 and will provide privacy when entering or leaving the side access to the rear garden well as being a decorative feature.

As published by the council, reference 25/04313/CLP
