Please see the the original post (made on 2 February 2014) for background.
On 11 September 2015, Lidl submitted a full planning application (15/04194/FUL) which appears to occupy a substantially larger footprint and with more parking/loading and retail space than signalled when Lidl representatives presented to LCCC in 2014 and – apparently – to local residents earlier this year. Objections and comments need to be submitted by 16 October 2015.

This does not affect CC boundaries – these are set by Local Authorites such as Edinburgh Council. However, it might affect the Edinburgh Councillors who are ex-officio CC members.)
The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland published its proposals for ward boundaries, for each of Scotland’s 32 councils, for public consultation on 30 July 2015.
The closing date for the public consultation is Thursday 22 October 2015.
Comments on the proposals can be submitted through the Commission’s consultation portal website, by email, or in writing to Thistle House, 91 Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh, EH12 5HD..
Further information regarding the reviews is available online.
