There's mention of a pre-application having been submitted in October (2025?) but we are unaware of any such application. The sales particulars for the site are here scarlettdev.co.uk/developments... including a 'Concept Design'. It seems that the hotel market continues to thrive....

Our response to the recent consultation: The Draft Strategy lacks priorities and timescales, it mixes strategic issues and operational matters. It is unclear what are, or are not, priorities. "In summary.....the strategy needs to be re-thought, starting with a coherent vision for Princes Street"

A beacon of light on Picardy Place ? Not in our view but confirmation that long standing plans are reaching fruition at the former Bank of Scotland branch.
