As filed with the council

Privately owned greenspace within University of Edinburgh, within fenced area. Site would operate on half the available garden space. Temporary installation of 2 performance venues, an event space and supporting infrastructure, to be used as part of the Edinburgh Blues and Jazz Festival, Edinburgh Food Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe. We have used the site since 2011 for the same purpose. The site is a green space owned by University of Edinburgh - looking for permission to cover the change of use of the land and associated temporary structures.
