New-build flats are common across newer Edinburgh developments and regenerated parts of the city. They typically have very different construction, layouts and building services from traditional tenement or Georgian properties.
Alterations often focus on improving storage, fitted joinery, kitchens, bathrooms and interior layouts rather than restoring historic fabric.
Because flats form part of a larger building, proposed alterations still need to take account of the structure, shared services and communal elements of the development.
