The Cockburn has objected to this application. This site does not appear to be a realistic development opportunity. The specific reason for a similar application on this site to be rejected: namely, negative impact on trees is not, in our view, sufficiently addressed in the current application.
The Cockburn has objected to this application. We can appreciate the need for the provision of shelter for clients of this significant attraction. However, given the site’s context in terms of its Old Town location and it proximity to numerous listed buildings, this proposal is not good enough. A more contemporary solution may be more acceptable. We note that the application makes no reference to its relevant A-listed status or any other heritage considerations. This is unacceptable.
The Cockburn has supported this statue in acknowledgement of Hugo’s significance as a local character, appreciating his role in shaping Edinburgh’s distinct identity and heritage. Local art, such as this statue, is crucial to communities, fostering pride, connection, and continuity, whilst offering a concrete link to shared history and values that reinforce community ties.
