We are planning a major expansion of West Edinburgh. The area along the A8 corridor, south of the Airport will be developed with houses, shops, schools, services, public transport, healthcare, parks and sports facilities.
We produced the West Edinburgh Placemaking Framework to guide development and we engaged with residents and businesses to make sure we got this right. The Framework was revised based on that feedback.
The Scottish Government supports our plans for development but there are elements of the Framework that need more work, including:
- how the new area will connect to the surrounding area, existing communities and other new developments,
- how the essential things that people will need are delivered and when, and
- options for the Gogar Burn.
We have now amended the Framework, which we are seeking your views on.
