Planning application
2 South Charlotte Street Edinburgh EH2 4AW
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
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.

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 conditions applications
How this application type works
This type of application deals with conditions attached to an existing permission, either by supplying the details a condition requires, called discharging it, or by asking to vary or remove one. It does not reopen the principle of the permission itself. Building often cannot lawfully start, or continue past a set stage, until the named conditions are discharged.
