We have prepared Edinburgh’s proposed new local development plan called City Plan 2030. The proposed City Plan 2030 sets out the strategy for development, proposals and policies to shape, development and inform planning decisions in the city over the next 10 years and beyond.
Resolution to Adopt City Plan 2030 as modified
We have considered the recommendations of the Scottish Government report of examination published on 5 April 2024 and have prepared a modified City Plan 2030 accepting all recommendations.
At the meeting of Planning Committee on 19 June 2024 and full Council on 27 June 2024, the Council resolved to adopt the modified City Plan 2030.
The following documents comprise City Plan 2030 as modified, June 2024
- City Plan 2030 written statement
- City Plan 2030 Appendix D: Technical Requirements for Housing Proposals
- Proposals Maps: North East, North West, South East, South West
The modifications to the plan are set out in the Table of Modifications to City Plan 2030.
The modified plan is also supported by the following updated documents:
- Environmental Report Second Revision
- Draft Habitats Regulation Appraisal and Addendum revised
- Updated Integrated Impact Assessment
A revised Housing Technical Note has also been prepared to aid clarity and transparency on the modifications to the plan following examination.
Notification to Ministers
Notification of the Council’s intention to adopt the plan as modified was sent to Scottish Ministers on 3 July 2024.
The plan can be formally adopted 28 days after notification, unless Scottish Ministers direct otherwise. Scottish Ministers may extend the period, direct the Council to consider modifications to the plan, direct the Council not to adopt the plan or approve the plan themselves.
Following the statutory notification period City Plan 2030 as modified, will be reported for formal adoption by full Council.
