Planning Guidance - Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas

Overview

This document set out the Council’s expectations for work:

• to a listed building
• within the grounds of a listed building
• within a conservation area.

Multiple sections may be relevant to the work being undertaken. Careful consideration should be given to each of these.

To check whether your property is listed or in a designated area, use The City of Edinburgh Council Atlas or Historic Environment Scotland Designations Map Search.

Are you the owner-occupier of a listed building or property in a conservation area in Edinburgh?

The University of Edinburgh is running a project in parallel with this consultation called "Giving Voices to Historic Property Owners". Some questions in the Council's consultation survey are open-ended. This means you will need to type or write in the boxes provided.  If you would like to expand on your answers or give additional feedback in a conversation setting, you can sign up to participate in a focus group and/or workshop with the University. If you are interested, you can visit the project information page to sign-up. This same link will be provided again at the end of the survey.

Why your views matter

We want the guidance to help people understand what we require for the various types of developments. We want the outcome of development to be good for all users. To do this, we want to make sure the content is clear, helpful, and balanced.
