West Edinburgh Placemaking Framework and Strategic Masterplan
Overview
We are planning to create a new neighbourhood along the A8 corridor, next to Edinburgh Airport. This will have around 11,000 new homes alongside shops, schools, healthcare, leisure facilities and other things people will need.
We will also make sure it is well connected, providing active travel links and public transport to the surrounding areas and the rest of the city.
We consulted on the principle of development as part of City Plan 2030. We are now asking for your views on how to develop this new community.
Background
On 14 June 2023, the Council’s Planning Committee approved the West Edinburgh Placemaking Framework and Strategic Masterplan as a draft for consultation.
The area has been the focus for potential development over several years, for example with the International Business Gateway and Airport expansion.
City Plan 2030 is Edinburgh’s proposed Local Development Plan. It sets out policies and proposals for how land in Edinburgh should be developed and used. Place Policy 16 in City Plan 2030 now identifies this area of West Edinburgh as a new urban quarter of Edinburgh.
This questionnaire explores some of the key issues. We welcome your views. We will use your feedback to produce the final Framework, which we will present to Planning Committee for approval.
