Listed building consent and planning permission
Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town is among the finest examples of urban planning in Europe. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site which is why owning a property in the New Town comes with certain responsibilities. If you are thinking of buying one, with a view to restoring or converting it, it pays to speak with a building professional, such as Mackenzie Hughes, who are familiar with Edinburgh listed building consent and planning permission. By fully understanding the required guidelines, we can deliver the outcome you are looking for, on time and within budget.
Preserving the character of a property
The City of Edinburgh Council Listed Buildings Guidance Document states “The fact that a building is listed does not mean that changes cannot be made. However, it does mean that any alterations must preserve its character.”
