Advance warning for the 2025 AGM

The AGM of the Owners’ Association of New Cut Rigg will take place on Thursday 27 March at 7pm in the Anchor West room in the Heart of Newhaven Community Hub (the former Victoria Primary School).  We met here in 2024 and it worked well, so we are pleased that we have been able to hire this room again.

Further details, including the agenda, will be with you 4 weeks before the meeting but we wanted to let you know the date well in advance.   If you know already that you want to raise a particular issue, please email us at newcutrigg@gmail.com. 

Short Term Letting within New Cut Rigg 

The title deeds for the properties (the Deed of Conditions) provide that our flats are used only as private dwellings, are not occupied by more than one family at a time and are not used for carrying on a business.  At the AGM in 2023, it was agreed that these provisions apply to Short Term Letting and there should be no Short Term Letting at New Cut Rigg. 

Further, planning permission is required for a change of use from Residential to Short Term Letting, which Edinburgh Council have made known will not be granted in buildings with common access stairs.  An application for such a change of use has been made and refused on appeal at New Cut Rigg, with an enforcement order served. 

Finally, there is a requirement in Edinburgh for a Licence to operate a Short Term Let, which would only be considered if planning permission had previously been granted. 

Accordingly, New Cut Rigg should not suffer the nuisance and disturbance resulting from Short Term Lets. 

Since November 2022 our Property Manager is Marianne Peters. She can be contacted on 0333 240 8325 or edinburgh@jamesgibb.co.uk

The aim of this website is two-fold:

1. To keep current owners and tenants up to date with events and developments within New Cut Rigg , including reminding everyone of following a ‘code of living’ which respects others dwellers and the development
2. To help new owners and tenants to understand how New Cut Rigg functions, to enable them to settle in quickly and appreciate how pleasant it is to live in New Cut Rigg

To this end, the website contains information about living here, which will be updated as required, as well as information about forthcoming meetings of the association.  The minutes of the committee meetings are available on the app of our factor, James Gibb, in a folder that is only available to owners of properties in New Cut Rigg.
