Breaking News - Eyre Place PBSA To say we're delighted that the Reporter has again dismissed the appeal for the student housing proposal at 72-74 Eyre Place is an understatement. Excellent that the many responses from residents have again been recognised.

Only 3 months ago a @scotgov Reporter refused permission for student block plans at Eyre Place. The developer has now submitted a new application, with minimal alterations. Yet again there's been a lack of community engagement. Read more of my thoughts⬇️ edinburghnews.scotsman.com/n…

The potential of the proposed development to adversely impact existing properties in terms of noise, overshadowing and privacy is clear.

Although this could be seen as a (very) marginal improvement vs. the previously refused scheme (on appeal), it simply does not address the concerns that ~400 objectors raised. Final date for comments 6 October Included on @NTBCC's September meeting agenda

New application submitted for redevelopment of 'Site A' on former Jewson site on Eyre Place . The new scheme increases the footprint of the student block & reduces the massing, with the number of student bedrooms reduced from 142 to 139. Details: tinyurl.com/mvarpsd

Replying to @HanBanan @scotgov
I do hope the reporter listens to concerns. We feel appeals on grounds of non determination must be reviewed this is an affront to local democracy.
