Attractive position overlooking Cammo Estate
*Closing date 12 noon, Wednesday 25 November 2015*
Location
Cammo Home Farm is situated on a quiet road in the prestigious residential area of Cammo/Barnton, immediately adjacent to the country park known as
Cammo Estate. The property has superb views over the estate grounds. Cammo Road is approx. five miles north west of Edinburgh city centre and is within
easy reach of the Forth Road Bridge, City Bypass, M8/M9 motorways and Edinburgh International Airport.
Description
The main building was originally built in 1910 as a golf clubhouse and later converted to a farmhouse in 1952. The farmhouse, together with surrounding
outbuildings, was previously operated as Cammo Home Farm and has lain empty since 2004. The building is a part two storey, roughcast brick building with
Arts and Craft style timber decoration and a rosemary tile roof. The property is in poor repair and has been damaged by fire. Emergency stabilisation works
have been carried out including some downtakings and a temporary flat roof installed over part of the building. The site is served by electricity and mains
water but these have not been tested.
Area
The site extends to approx. 0.36 hectares (0.89 acres). The footprint of the main building is approximately 354 sq.m. (3,810 sq ft).
Planning
The site lies within the greenbelt and there are also trees present which are subject to Tree Preservation Orders. Any development will need to ensure
compliance with policies on the redevelopment of sites within the greenbelt. Until recently, this property was a listed building but has now been removed
from the list by Historic Scotland. Information on previous and existing planning applications can be viewed on Planning and Building Standards Online
Services under the address of 37 Cammo Road, via the Councils website at www.edinburgh.gov.uk . One of the planning applications (ref: 12/01746/FUL)
for the demolition of the existing buildings and erection of two new houses has minded to grant status subject to the completion of a planning agreement.
Another planning application (ref: 12/01875/FUL) for the restoration of the existing building into a single dwelling also has minded to grant status subject to
a planning agreement.
Potential Uses
Residential use is likely to be acceptable. Other uses would need to be considered on their merits. Commercial leisure uses are not supported by planning
policy. Copies of the local plan are available at the Planning and Building Standards Helpdesk, Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street and online at
