Proposed Change of Use of Common Good Property: Inverleith Park
Overview
The City of Edinburgh Council is proposing the demolition of two redundant buildings at Inverleith Depot, which forms part of Inverleith Park, which is a Common Good asset. The buildings are unused, in poor condition, and no longer required for Council services. Their removal would help reduce ongoing maintenance costs and enable the longer-term redevelopment of the Depot as part of wider aspirations for Inverleith Park.
Under section 104 of the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015, we are required to publish details of any proposed disposal or change of use in respect of property held as part of the Common Good register and invite representations from community councils, community bodies and members of the public.
Why your views matter
This area of land has Common Good status. The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 states that if a local authority wishes to change the use of an area of Common Good land they must consult local communities before taking any decision.
We are now keen to hear the views of the local community and, if there is support for the proposal, we would proceed with the demolition of the buildings.
