GF 6 Priestfield Road Prestonfield Edinburgh EH16 5HH

Awaiting decision City of Edinburgh 25/05490/CLE Certificate of Lawfulness (existing)

Works: Extension Windows or glazing

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

Proposal

Replaced skylight on rear extension roof. ,Previous skylight timber framed, had x3 window panes and was single glazed. Replaced by a new timber framed skylight with x2 panes and is double glazed. Outside appearance is very similar; before and after photos can be provided. Prior to the works being carried out I reviewed the council online guidance and although the building is grade C listed it is not in a conservation area and therefore permission was not sought.

As published by the council, reference 25/05490/CLE
