Planning application
4F2 8 Viewforth Square Edinburgh EH10 4LP
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
The current windows are a silver coloured metal, but the replacement frames will be made of wood and will be painted white. They will be sash and case - the more common style of the neighbourhood. The astragals will also be wooden and painted white. Dimensions will remain the same, as will opening method, orientation, pain colour etc.

2F1 6 Bellevue Place Broughton Edinburgh EH7 4BZ
The living room of 6/4 Bellevue Place faces the road. This proposal is to replace the single-glazed, wooden sash-and-case bay window (3 sashes comprise the bay window) with a like-for-like sash UPVC bay window (double-glazed). The motivation for the change is lower up-front cost, increased energy efficiency and decreased maintenance effort.

106 Comiston Road Morningside Edinburgh EH10 5QL
Replace five ground floor flat windows with double glazed upvc sash and case windows. to insulate the property and reduce traffic noise from comiston road. employing a reputable local glazer (amazing double glazing) the proposed upvc windows will comply with planning guidance in terms of number, orientation, colour and geometry, only deviating in terms of materiality due to prohibitively expensive quotes for timber frame. the majority of neighbouring flats have installed upvc double-glazing.
