Gullane couple submit wacky plans to install metal slide to side of home

The unusual plans are currently being weighed up by the local planning department.

A couple are planning on a wacky extension to their home - by installing a “fun” metal slide to exit their property.

Plans have been submitted by Steve and Muge Satman Weatherley to have the unique “stainless steel tubular slide” built onto the side of their £700,000 home in Gullane, East Lothian.

The unusual plans - that also include an external steel and glass staircase - are currently being weighed up by the local authority’s planning department.

A couple have submitted plans to install a metal slide to their side of their Gullane home.

A planning statement notes that views of the proposed slide at the five bedroom home would be limited by the existing boundary wall and screening.

A couple are planning on a wacky extension to their Gullane home - by installing a “fun” metal slide.

The plans reads: “We are proposing a new glass and steel stair with a stainless steel tubular slide to allow access from the first floor terrace down to the existing garden.

“This provides a more direct access from the main living spaces, without having to go through the main house, with the added benefit of bringing a little bit of fun and joy to young and old alike. The materials would be in keeping with the existing stainless steel and glazed balustrades to the terrace.”
