City Plan 2040 update – extension of consultation on the draft Participation Statement

As Edinburgh approaches the adoption of City Plan 2030, thought needs to start  about the next local development plan which will be City Plan 2040.

Edinburgh Council has extended the period of time for seeking the views of the public on the content of the draft Participation Statement. The draft Participation Statement is a summary of when and how the Council is likely to engage with the public on City Plan 2040.

The closing date on the Edinburgh Council consultation hub has been extended to 1 MAY 2024.

To let Edinburgh Council know your views, please respond online on the Edinburgh Council Consultation Hub. Or you can email cityplan2040@edinburgh.gov.uk, or write to  this freepost address:
