Conservation architect Jocelyn Cunliffe urges Edinburgh World Heritage to reconsider their neutral stance on a proposed super hostel in the citys historic New Town. The plan involves transforming four Category A-listed townhouses into a 544-bed facility, attracting budget travelers. However, the project faces strong opposition from residents, local leaders, and heritage groups due to its scale and potential impact on the areas residential feel. The appeal now lies with a Scottish government reporter, as officials weigh the balance between tourism needs and preserving Edinburghs heritage.
