The living room of 6/4 Bellevue Place faces the road.

106 Comiston Road Morningside Edinburgh EH10 5QL
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.
