Not knowing the goeography of the street.... if another 4 houses have access via Bath Place, that would explain the Planning Offiicers comment of double the current traffic. So theoretically 7 cars use the lane now...if the new building goes ahead, an additonal 7 cars will theoretically be using it then

Porty, I am not getting into a point by point discussion with you on, for instance, what ‘same' means. I would think most people define same as equal, identical, unchanged or at its most loose, very similar. (Not my definitions but those from Chamber's Dictionary and Roget's Thesaurus). This only deflects from the main arguments.

However, two things cannot be let go without comment. How do you know what this planning officer's thought processes are? Eg. you wrote ‘He didn't, he followed guidelines. In actual fact he assumed, as his work rules dictate, far…….'

Secondly, after 35 years of work reading and preparing plans, I do not misinterpret or misunderstand where the boundary is. It is clearly shown on drawing 01 Revision (a) submitted by Turnbull which, I assume, you have looked at and it is to do with the retained garden in front of 2 Bath Place. If Turnbull (the architect) has got it wrong then I cannot be held responsible for that. I have four explanations as to why it was missed:

Incompetence;

Deliberate as there is some advantage to the Planning Officer;

Error due to pressure of work – Edinburgh has the least number of planning officers per application;

Overlooking this fact as it does not fit in with the argument as to why privacy standards should be reduced – that is, it's all the cottages fault.

I do not subscribe to the first two explanations and I am now happy to leave the decision to the Planning Committee.

This is the last post from Hawkeye.

Thanks to ECM for the link to the photo of the victorian tenement that used to stand in front of the cottages in Bath Place.



I don't know about the sea air but one can certainly smell the BS.

And Bath Place-post the demolition of the victorian tenement. Footprints galore.

That is such a disappointment
Mr Lizzie was born and brought up at No 2 Bath Place and we always had an inkling that perhaps one day, if it ever came on the market, and we could afford to, we would buy it for our retirement.
