Picardy Place hotel receives granted planning approval!
10 Jul 2024
We are pleased that our hotel development has received a granted planning permission!
The 51-bed hotel which rescues and repurposes a Category B listed Georgian terrace building centrally located on Picardy Place, within Edinburgh’s New Town Conservation Area and Edinburgh’s Old and New Town World Heritage Site.
The conversion and extension address a building that suffered
from extensive brutal alteration to form a reinforced parking garage for a car
hire company.
The proposal alters the non-original concrete frame to introduce an open inner
courtyard which allows natural light to penetrate to all floors down to the
lower ground level, a reference towards the former rear garden that once served
the main townhouse.
Rooms wrap around this new source of natural light at the heart of the
building; a basement area to the front is reinstated along with a contemporary ground floor
entrance and the Georgian façade is to be fully restored.
We have moved!
