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 - The proposed frontage design retains the existing glazed shopfront and canopy, with the introduction of an illuminated 'Charlotte House' sign mounted to the edge of the canopy, together with new black vertical lines and identity manifestation detailing applied to the glazing panel. Existing metal frontage elements, currently finished in black, are proposed to be redecorated in RAL 9005 (Jet Black), including the canopy structure, to provide a consistent and refined appearance. The metal cladding adjacent to the entrance door will be replaced with a bronze finished panel incorporating a new door entry system. No alterations are proposed to the surrounding granite façade, which will remain unchanged.
