The subjects comprise a site irregular in shape, albeit broadly of a rectangular nature, but tapering towards the north end of the site at its junction with Hall Street and Kirk Brae. The site has an extensive frontage to Roxburgh Street of approximately 55 metres with a maximum depth of 21 metres, tapering to around 14 metres close to the road junction. The site rises to the west/south-west, with the properties adjacent on Rosebank Terrace lying at a height above Roxburgh Street. The site is bound on Roxburgh Street by a brick wall.
The site has had planning permission approved subject to conditions. (Ref: 18/00230/FUL). In addition, there is a current decision pending in relation to the replacement of a swimming pool with an additional flat. (Ref: 23/01669/FUL)
The consent involves an engineering design that culverts the burn and uses a sheet pile on the upper slope to create a platform for development. The architect who designed the scheme advises this is a very cost effective method of creating the site.
