Seafield masterplan consultation

From Edinburgh Council:

The proposed City Plan 2030 identifies the need for a Place Brief and a Masterplan for Seafield. This is to ensure that as proposals come forward in line with its designation as a location for new homes, there is a co-ordinated approach to creating a successful new neighbourhood. 

7N Architects have been appointed by the City of Edinburgh Council to create this Place Brief and Masterplan and are working with City of Edinburgh Council and members of Seafield: Connecting Coastal Communities. 

We will be consulting the community in three stages. This is Stage 1 and concerns high level issues and opportunities at Seafield. We will be responding to the outcome of this stage at Stage 2 and then reviewing final proposals at Stage 3. Please see our main page for updates.

Petition: Western harbour

LHNCC residents may be interested in this petition. It’s about preservation of ‘four abandoned building plots aside the shore of the Forth and Western Harbour’.

According to the petition organisers:

‘In 14 years since, the land has been lying untouched and has become a wonderful example of urban rewilding – a haven for insects, bats and waterfowl including breeding swans and moorhens, goldeneye, herons and kingfisher. It’s also become a very special place for local residents, who come to watch the waterbirds and enjoy the tranquillity of the spot in an otherwise densely developed part of the city.’

However, the plots have now been ‘put up for sale for development’. The petition organisers are calling

  • ‘on Edinburgh City Council and the Scottish Government to recognise the value of this self-willed wetland habitat for nature and for people, and to help save it from development.’ 
  • ‘on the landowner, too, to consider and recognise the value of this rewilded land beyond simply being ‘plots for development’, and to enter into dialogue with the community about its future.’
