LCCC community planning event notes (final version)
This replaces a post with draft notes, which has now been deleted.
2019_09_21, Nelson Hall, McDonald Rd Library. Notes taken by Bruce Ryan
1 Introduction to the event
Duncan Bremner (DB) of Citizen Curator introduced the event.
Harald Tobermann (HT), vicechair of Leith Central Community Council (LCCC), introduced LCCC’s role in this event. He noted that the event is about the Local Development Plan (LDP), called CityPlan 2030, that is currently in development. The event would also touch on other relevant legislation, such as the Community Empowerment Act, including Asset Transfer. (This enables local communities to request to run publicly-owned assets.)
DB noted that Edinburgh Council (CEC) is due to put CityPlan 2030 out to public consultation towards the end of 2019. Then the final version is due to be published in 2022, and would be in place until 2032. This LDP is the document that developers refer to when planning developments. It also informs many other CEC services and activities, especially land-use.
DB noted that the Scottish Government (SG) has recently passed a Planning Act. Now some secondary legislation is needed to complete it. However, this act enables community organisations to develop local place plans (LPPs), and obliges local authorities to ‘have regard’ to LPPs. This legislation is so far untested.
DB also noted that the Scottish Land Commission is considering land-use, and how communities should be involved in such discussions. Continue reading
