Give us your views on our Planning Design Guidance
Overview
We are currently updating the following planning guidance documents.
- Edinburgh Design Guidance
- Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Guidance
- Guidance for Householders
Background
In response to the National Planning Framework 4, City Plan 2030 and the City Mobility Plan, we have reviewed the guidance documents to make sure they align with the aims and outcomes of the plans.
We have also updated the guidance to respond to the climate and nature emergencies. This includes:
- Minimising energy used in the construction, maintenance and use of buildings.
- Adapting to the changing climate, including sustainable drainage.
- Supporting biodiversity and good green space.
- Enabling sustainable transport.
Our advice on how we make spaces safer for everyone has also been updated.
Why your views matter
We would like to hear your views on the new versions of the guidance documents. You can comment on any or all the guidance documents. Your views will help us finalise the update to these guidance documents.
