CSG Queensferry Ltd submitted plans on March 27 for external alterations in association with hotel and restaurant use, at 2 - 8 Queensferry Street and 3 Queensferry Street Lane. Both sites at Edinburgh's West End are currently vacant, and both have permission for hotel and restaurant developments. However, the new proposed external changes require planning permission and listed building consent. These include a new secondary hotel entrance from Queensferry Street Lane, the relocation of the previously consented substation, and a new back of house staff and service access is proposed within the existing gable of 8 Queensferry Street. The principal hotel entrance is proposed to be relocated from 2 Queensferry Street to the original, ornate stone accommodation Entrance at 3 Queensferry Street. A new ground floor frontage is proposed along Queensferry Street to accommodate the ground floor restaurant use, and a new external central courtyard space (pictured) is proposed.placeholder image

Plans have been submitted by a Mr K Aslam, for a change of use from Class 1A Shop to Class 3 Restaurant /Cafe at 62 Home Street in Tollcross. The plans show no proposed changes to the shopfront. However the ground floor of the unit would be transformed, with seating added for 12 customers, a customer service desk installed and an extract added through the existing chimney. Toilet facilities would be added to the rear of the unit, replacing the existing store room. The lower ground floor would remain mostly unchanged, although a fridge freezer storage room would replace the existing storage room at the rear. The existing kitchen and toilet facilities at the front would remain, if these plans are approved by the council's planning department.
