Edinburgh planning consultations
CEC are currently updating their planning guidance documents in response to National Planning Framework 4, City Plan 2030 and the City Mobility Plan to make sure the guidance aligns with their aims and outcomes.
Let ECCAN know your consultation input so that we can collate our membership's response to the amended guidance. edinburgh@eccan.scot
You can view the draft guidance here:
Edinburgh Design Guidance - Guidance for design and placemaking in new developments. This is to make sure we have places that work well and create good places to live.
Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Guidance - Guidance to support works to a listed building or within a conservation area. This is to make sure we look after our historic buildings and places.
Guidance for Householders - Guidance for development undertaken by individual householders. This includes work to existing houses and gardens.
The consultation is now open online until 3 April 2025.
