12 Hope Terrace Morningside Edinburgh EH9 2AR
We intend on painting the side & rear timber sash + case windows a green colour, which does not require planning permission as per The EoECs guidance Quick Guide to Windows dated 2024. We would also like to paint the front elevation windows the same green colour (Farrow & Balls Green Smoke) for continuity, which we feel is acceptable due to the building being set back from the road and given there is a large site boundary wall to Hope Terrace, which provides screening and means there would be little to no impact to the street. This application is therefore requesting approval to paint the front elevation windows & frames, as noted above.
