Planning application
8 Milligan Gait Edinburgh EH16 4UB
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Installation of a 1.8m (6 ft) high brown timber 'hit-and-miss' style fence. 9.5m will run parallel to the road, with the remaining 5.6m section extending across the south-western aspect of the garden, positioned in line with the front elevation of the house. A 1m wide pedestrian timber gate will be installed to the right-hand side to allow access from the front of the property.

The process from here
This application is with City of Edinburgh for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.

Non Material Variation - Pump Room Relocation + Manhole Mitigation. The new external pump room location revised due to existing underground services identified during site investigation. During setting out of the revised location, a manhole was discovered buried approximately 600mm below existing ground level, which falls within the footprint of the proposed slab.
