Cockburn Response
The Cockburn objects to this application.
The proposed advertising will have an extremely prominent position in the World Heritage Site and Conservation Area. It will be in place for an extended period of time.
We accept that the proposed shrouding will incorporate an image of the building’s façade. Nevertheless, given the scale and prominence of the proposed advertising we consider it highly likely
that it have a negative impact on the perception and experience of Edinburgh’s historic city centre and one of its most iconic streets by many visitors and tourists to the city.
