I'll try and write this one in English.
The houses are recommended for approval and will be going to next Wednesday's (26th October) planning committee. It appears that the restricted access, the uninspired shoe box design, the obscuring of Georgian cottages, increased traffic and congestion mean nothing to the planners.
And as for the Portobello Conservation Area then this might as well as be destroyed as far as our planners in Edinburgh are concerned.
The only hope now is that the planning committee do not agree with the officer's recommendation. Write to each of them putting your point of view. A list will be posted.
