@whoknows97531 @LivingStreetsEd @edinhelp @JackRMCaldwell @theSpurtle Passed through there today (Friday) - sign seems to still be in the same place so not too sure what's happened in the meantime.

@whoknows97531 @LivingStreetsEd @edinhelp @JackRMCaldwell @theSpurtle Well done - seems the most expedient approach.

(There are plenty of others also deserving of attention elsewhere).

@theSpurtle Well, it's certainly progressing at pace now after an extended delay.

For context - it's a far cry from this in 2022.....

(Slightly unclear why it's not categorised as a /FULSTL application as that's essentailly what it is).

Deadline also Friday 27 March.

@Powderhall @theSpurtle The answer seems to depend on whether you're a developer or a local resident......

[New Town & Broughton CC @NTBCC]

@edinhelp Thanks - this seems to have been mostly resolved - although still a few items scattered around (road signs etc.).
Hopefully the weather will be obliging over the weekend.

@edinhelp Phase 1 of the Mansfield Place Resurfacing Works started on 9 March. Yes - it has been 'windy' - but the impact for pedestrians & cyclists due to the poorly installed barriers is not acceptable.

No personnel on site to raise concerns. Can this be resolved asap ?

Short Term Let appeals to the DPEA (Scottish Reporter) : almost 50 appeals against refusal of (mainly retrospective) planning permission across Edinburgh have been Withdrawn in the last 2 weeks (e.g. below)

Not clear what has prompted this but does help to unclog the system.....

Beaverhall House demolition now underway. Demolition & erection of a mixed use development (incl. 205 residential units) was approved in Nov'23.

Demolition follows the approval of a Section 75A 'Modification of a Planning Obligation' in Feb'25 due to concerns over vandalism.

We're pleased to welcome Terry Levinthal who will provide an update on @EdinburghWH activities & answer questions - everyone very welcome.

@edinhelp @AngryWaves There are many instances of missing lids on the new communal bins - it would be helpful if notifications could be raised by the operating crews rather than just rely on reports from members of the public.

Longer term - finding a more robust bin would also help.

Edinburgh residents coming together to oppose more unmanaged short term lets as they are “blindsided” by “appalling” short-term let decision
