below attached letter

To the Head of Planning and Strategy, City Development Department, City of Edinburgh Council, 1 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh EH1 1ZJ


Re Planning Application 07/02348/FUL

17 West Montgomery Place, Edinburgh EH7 5HA

Dear Sir/ Madam

I wish to object to the application for planning permission to convert the above property into a flat. This would result in the loss of the valuable community facility currently provided in these premises.

I consider that the ACE charity operating in 17 West Montgomery Place provides a very useful resource in this neighbourhood, and serves a real local need.

I understand that the Council’s development policy is to protect local shops, community halls and meeting rooms – I would urge that this policy be adhered to, and that this planning application be refused.


Yours sincerely
