Planning application
94 Constitution Street South Leith Edinburgh EH6 6AW
Works: Windows or glazing
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The proposal involves the replacement of all 10 existing windows within the property with 6-over-6 traditional wooden sash and case windows. The current windows are in a severely deteriorated and rotting condition, endering them no longer fit for purpose either functionally or aesthetically. The new windows will be constructed from high-quality timber in keeping with the architectural character of the building. They will be finished in white paint to match the existing windows on the surrounding properties within the building, ensuring uniformity and visual cohesion. This design and finish are intended to closely replicate the original style and match the existing 6-over-6 sash windows seen throughout the rest of the building, thereby preserving the historic appearance and integrity of the property.

Replace five ground floor flat windows with double glazed upvc sash and case windows. to insulate the property and reduce traffic noise from comiston road. employing a reputable local glazer (amazing double glazing) the proposed upvc windows will comply with planning guidance in terms of number, orientation, colour and geometry, only deviating in terms of materiality due to prohibitively expensive quotes for timber frame. the majority of neighbouring flats have installed upvc double-glazing.
