Edinburgh's Local Housing Strategy

Overview

Edinburgh’s draft Local Housing Strategy covers all tenures and types of housing and sets out key strategic objectives and proposed actions for delivering housing and related services, along with the key challenges. It is a statutory requirement that local authorities produce a Local Housing Strategy.

This is a consultation on the draft Local Housing Strategy. Following this consultation, the strategy will be reviewed and is due for completion in May 2025.

What you’ve told us so far

An initial survey was open for six weeks, closing on 14th June 2024. We received 345 responses. These included in-depth comments across a range of issues. Read the initial LHS survey results.

Following on from that survey, a series of workshop events were held involving a wide range of stakeholders along with an online feedback route. Information on these can be found in the draft Consultation and Engagement report.
