Planning application

PF1 148 Albert Street Edinburgh EH7 5LT

Awaiting decision City of Edinburgh 26/02286/CLP Certificate of Lawfulness (proposed)

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

Minor alteration to lower cill of kitchen window to form new door within the current opening (no change to lintel) of ground floor flat in 4 storey tenement to improve the accessibility. Existing steps down through front door before a perpendicular hallway prevents introduction of a wheelchair user ramp. Shared garden space to rear of the property can be access with a simple removable ramp from communal stair corridor. Gentle landscaping can provide level entry at the kitchen.

About lawful development applications

A lawful development certificate is a legal determination that existing or proposed works do not need planning permission; the merits of the scheme are not considered. More in our guide to planning application types.
