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.

Former Water Board Site Buckstone Terrace Edinburgh
Non Material Variation - The original consent proposes the existing roof to be retained and repaired. Due to structural limitations, this is not practical and the applicant seeks to vary the application to instead replace the existing slate roof. The proposed new slate roof will match the heights, pitch and finish of the existing slate roof. Existing roof slates are to be carefully removed and re-installed where possible.
