An Edinburgh developer is seeking permission to demolish a derelict 19th century warehouse in a conservation zone before building housing on the site.
In January, the City of Edinburgh Council approved the development of 19 flats at a derelict warehouse on John’s Lane in Leith.
During an inspection, project engineer, Harley Haddow, found the 19th century derelict building “to be out of plumbness” and “not for conversion and requiring to be rebuilt.”
