Looks good but worth remembering that this is a rival project to plans already submitted for a hotel/restaurant. I'm not sure what rights, if any, this project has to the chapel. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15830#post-206201 Sun, 06 Dec 2015 22:10:00 +0000 Fountainbridge 206201@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Interesting development on the Charlotte Chapel on Rose street. New request for planning permission to convert it to a "Centre for Dance and Performing Arts"</p> <p>Existing church becomes a 600 odd seated thatre type space, ground floor becomes a small bar, basement becomes and experimental event space.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/AXk5ck"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/660/22942258633_2dd61e5167_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/AXk5ck">Capture</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul fae Fountainbridge</a>, on Flickr<br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/AXekiA"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5821/22941138784_f52fd3e4cd_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/AXekiA">Capture</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul fae Fountainbridge</a>, on Flickr<br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/BSruxC"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/618/23543285506_9c0ddc6ca0_n.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/BSruxC">Capture</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/130059894@N04/">Paul fae Fountainbridge</a>, on Flickr </p>
