Have a look at the financial challenges that the city faces. Have a go at the attached and see the consequences. Whilst this is not real – the decisions faced by the city are real and will affect and impact on you and your family. Get involved. Contact us and let us know what you think.

The Acting Head of Planning and Building Standards is pleased to announce a refreshed Planning and Building Standards Service will be introduced on 27 October 2014. Following a review of how the service has been delivered, an area-based focus has now been developed for dealing with planning and building standard applications. There will also be a city wide function for areas such as the development plan, built and natural environment, place making and service delivery.
More information about what the teams do, the areas they cover and contact details for each area are available in Edinburgh Council’s planning blog, www.planningedinburgh.com. Edinburgh Council will be sharing this with its stakeholders and circulating a leaflet round Council offices and libraries in the coming week. You can also sign up to the blog for email alerts.

From 7.00 pm at Newhaven Harbour (outdoor event) and at venues throughout the village untill 9.00 pm

The Council is currently reviewing the character appraisals for Edinburgh’s conservation areas.
Character appraisals guide the local planning authority in making planning decisions and, where opportunities arise, in preparing enhancement proposals.
The current character appraisal for Leith can be viewed here:
http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/file/1099/leith_conservation_area_character_appraisalpdf
The intention is to make the appraisals more interactive and the first of these has been completed for the Grange Conservation Area:
http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/directory_record/377091/grange_conservation_area
A draft revised character appraisal is programmed for presentation to the Planning Committee in February 2015. Following this there will be a comprehensive consultation on the appraisal.
At this stage, we would be pleased to know if there are any issues you would like to see included in the draft appraisal.
Please contact me if you would like to discuss this or arrange a meeting.
