3. New hotel rooftop terrace
India Buildings Ltd has proposed the creation of a roof terrace to the existing flat roof, and install new windows and a fixed hot tub, at Virgin Hotels, 1 India Buildings, Victoria Street, Edinburgh. The building's current flat roof at level nine would be transformed, to provide hotel guests with a private relaxing outdoor space, capturing fantastic views over the Edinburgh Old Town roofscape towards Edinburgh Castle and beyond. The proposed terrace balustrade is to be set back from the roof edge, providing privacy to the hotel guests and preventing overlooking of nearby properties. Comfortable outdoor seating and lush planting will provide guests with a peaceful sanctuary in the centre of the Old Town. | ICA
4. New four-bedroom home
Mr Ahmed Saadi applied to the City of Edinburgh Council on October 8 for planning permission for the erection of a new 1.5 storey, four-bedroom dwelling at 44 Craigmount Gardens, with associated access and landscaping, to replace the existing two-storey dwelling there. In the planning documents, the applicant said: "The design of the new dwelling house draws on the positive characteristics of the surrounding area and respects the character of its townscape environment with regards to its height, form and roofscape pattern, scale and proportions. The current plot has a garden which is 78 per cent of the overall site area. We have demonstrated that the required 20 per cent amenity can be accommodated for both the existing and proposed houses." The plans will still retain front and rear garden ground including the pedestrian route to the entrance from the corner of Craigmount Grove/Craigmount Gardens. | Kenneth Reid Architects
