Overview

We have created a draft plan to transform Seafield into a new environmentally friendly neighbourhood. We want to know what you think of this plan.

The plan includes:

  • As many as 2,700 new homes, with 35% of homes being affordable, to address the City's housing emergency.
  • A new promenade park linking together Craigentinny, Portobello and Leith.
  • Community services and facilities, including a new primary school, GP surgery and plenty of green space.
  • Opportunities for new shops and workplaces to create a vibrant and welcoming place.
  • Improved public transport, walking, wheeling and cycling routes that link to the wider area.
  • A heat network to provide affordable and sustainable heating and help Edinburgh meet its net zero target.
