School For Sale

The now unused former Juniper Green Primary School Annexe in Baberton Avenue is advertised for sale by the City of Edinburgh Council. According to the Conservation Area Character Appraisal click here the building sits within the Conservation Area. The document states “The character appraisal will be a material consideration when considering applications for development within the conservation area and applications for significant new developments should be accompanied by a contextual analysis that demonstrates how the proposals take account of the essential character of the area as identified in this document.” Should a developer seek to purchase the building we will look closely at whether any planning application takes account of the Character Appraisal requirement.
