Planning application

East Princes Street Gardens Princes Street New Town Edinburgh

Awaiting decision City of Edinburgh 25/04656/FUL Planning Permission

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

Proposal

The proposed permission is part of the Edinburgh's Christmas presentation across the City, as part of contract with City of Edinburgh Council. This permission covers live activity in East Princes Street Gardens and The Mound precinct between 27 October 2025 and 18 January 2025, including the installation and dismantle periods. The necessary licenses and permissions would be sought and in place as agreed with City of Edinburgh Council departments.

As published by the council, reference 25/04656/FUL
