6 terraced houses planned in front of Bath Place

IMO this site is too important to the Prom for consent to be given for the scheme currently submitted, however I think a building of better quality would be suitable.
Fred's opening statement - "the buildings would not match those of the listed buildings...." was a correct assumption but there is nothing wrong in that, however the proposals are bland at best.
Fred may wish to convince the developer of his "commitment to the development of Portobello...", get him to redesign and then purchase one of the "..contemporary European.." seafront apartments.

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.
