Our Planning working group spends a considerable amount of time responding to planning applications across the Leith Central area, sometimes in favour, sometimes oppossing.
We try our best to both broadly represent the views of our constituents and ensure any proposed development meets current guidelines, particularly as parts of our ward falls either into either the Leith, Pilrig, Victoria Park or New Town conservation areas.
For transparency, we tend to publish our full comment once the application process closes. These can be found attached to meeting agendas at the relevant date.
Here are two of our recent responses to proposals in Pilrig:
Application 21/00528/FUL on edinburgh.gov.uk
LCCC have objected to this application. The City of Edinburgh Council’s planning department will make a final decision in the coming months.
Application 21/00246/FUL on edinburgh.gov.uk
