EDI’s proposals for the re-invention of Lambs House – an A-listed merchant’s house in Leith – received planning permission in September.
Historic Scotland, the Leith Local History Society and Charles McKean, historic building consultant all supported the proposals, which will see this important building brought back into everyday use.
John Mark Di Ciacca, EDI’s Acting Chief Executive explained that EDI had worked very closely with the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland in promoting their proposal to this challenging, historic site. He said:
“Our plans will bring this much-loved building back into everyday use. We understand very well the challenges of introducing new buildings within historic settings, as our work in the Old Town demonstrates.
“Lambs House will be sensitively restored and brought back into its original use as a residential property, while conserving it for future generations and contributing to the continuing redevelopment of Leith.”
