Recent media reports have once again been voicing opinions on the planning applications affecting the City of Edinburgh World Heritage Sites – focus of much of the IHBC’s Annual School in 2014 – with a major planning application for the listed buildings forming the former Royal High School and other developments in the city, some of which will be reported on in the 2016 School in Worcester.
