Cockburn Response
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.
