EDINBURGH LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN - PROJECT UPDATE
I am writing to update you on the Local Development Plan project.
The Council is preparing a local development plan which sets out policies and proposals to guide land use and development.
A Second Proposed Local Development Plan was approved by the Council’s Planning Committee in June 2014. It was published for an engagement period which ran from August to October 2014. A number of representations were received, including many seeking to change the Local Development Plan’s proposals.
The project programme intended that, at its meeting on 26 February 2015, the Planning Committee would consider all representations and whether the Plan should be modified before it is submitted to Scottish Ministers for examination. In view of the issues raised and uncertainties caused by current planning appeals in terms of housing land supply matters, the Planning Committee did not consider the Local Development Plan report on 26 February.
It is now intended to consider the report at the next scheduled meeting of Planning Committee. That is due to take place on 14 May 2015. Details of that Committee agenda will be available on the Council’s website several working days beforehand.

Yours sincerely
