Got you, to the left at the bottom of Bath St, not the right:

- where you can see the "shadow" of the old building.

yup!
There is a thread about this somewhere but it's too hot to go and look - even beside the sea!!

"The neighbours have been assured that the site is zoned for green space area, as identified in the local plan.

Neighbours kept the grass cut down for the first five years but stopped this in the hope the Council would step in and requisition the ground as
it has been left unattended by the owners for over the 10 year limit.

However like all things the Council could do for Portobello - this has not happened yet!"

This is a quote taken from Susan back in 2003 - some things never change

The plans have now been accepted and objections need to be registered by the 18th of August. The reference number is 05/02411/ful if you would like to view them.The plans are shocking - six very unsightly three storey high terraced houses completely blocking the Georgian cottages. There are garages on the ground floor at the back, however it is inconceivable how cars would have the space to park in these garages let alone negoiate each other on Bath Place. It would be criminal to let this happen and allow these greedy people to permanently spoil the look of our historic promenade

I agree wholeheartedly with Fred, and all the other folks that have the interests of the Historic feel for that area at the corner of Bath Place and Bath Street.
The row of cottages will be hidden from view if we all stand by and do nowt.
I think it's time that we let the authorities know that enough is enough.
If we let any more new buildings go up on the Prom area, we might as well forget we once had a conservation area that was worth fighting over to retain.
Lots of visitors think Edinburgh and Portobello are special because of the history, and lovely old buildings.
I think we all have a duty to make sure these aspects are retained for future generations of locals and visitors to enjoy.

I would urge anyone reading this posting to get online to the Planning page at City of Edinburgh Planning, and register their objections.
Alternatively, write to The head of Planning at Edinburgh Council, giving your views on this proposal.
