Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) Granton Phase 2 - PLOTS B1 & B2

Overview

The Council owns around 120 acres of developable land within the Granton Waterfront area, creating a unique opportunity to work with key partners and the local residents to deliver an exemplar regeneration. Insights gained from previous attempts to develop Granton Waterfront highlight the importance of a joined up approach.

In February 2020 the Council approved a Development Framework which sets out the vision and key principles that will serve as guidance for all those who wish to develop in the area. This will enable the Council to ensure placemaking is at the heart of development while championing low carbon transport, active travel and sustainable development, supporting the Council’s recent commitment to achieve net zero carbon by 2030 and the emerging themes of the City Mobility Strategy and City Plan 2030.

The regeneration of Granton Waterfront provides an unmissable opportunity for Scotland’s capital city to set the standard for sustainable growth, marking a stepped change in how development can influence how we go about our daily lives.

A development partner has been appointed for Phase 1 of the regeneration and works have started on site.

This consultation will help shape the plans for the next phase which will be plots B1 & B2, outlined on the plan below.

Why your views matter

The Council has submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) to the planning authority for the construction of housing within the Granton Waterfront Development Framework area. 

As a major application, a Pre Application Consultation (PAC) must be carried out. The aim is that local communities are made aware of proposals at an early stage, and have the opportunity to comment to the prospective applicant before the proposal is finalised and an application for planning permission is made.
