A bid to have more outside seating built on the Royal Mile has failed after Edinburgh City Council ruled it would be 'harmful' to the Old Town.
City Centre Indian restaurant Treacle applied for planning permission for a 'raised decking area' for outdoor dining, similar to structures that have popped-up on Cockburn Street, Victoria Street and the Royal Mile over the last two years.
The ten existing wooden huts, constructed after planning laws were relaxed to allow businesses to accommodate customers during the pandemic, were all refused permission to remain in place permanently earlier this year.
