City Plan 2030 – Strategic Development Plan Update

cpupdateimage2

We wrote earlier about the need to change the City Plan project timetable as we were waiting for a decision on the second Strategic Development Plan for South East Scotland. It has now been confirmed that the Scottish Ministers have decided to reject the plan, and the letter which sets out the reasons for this can be read here.

We will work with the Scottish Government, national agencies and our regional partners as we progress City Plan 2030. We will still publish our new Development Plan Scheme in August 2019 which will include the new timetable and dates for consultation.

City Plan 2030 – March Timetable Update

cpupdateimage2As we mentioned in our City Plan Timetable Update, we’re revising the City Plan 2030 project timetable.  We’re making these changes as we don’t want to ask for your views on the choices for City Plan until we know what is in another plan – the second Strategic Development Plan for South East Scotland.

We had hoped to carry out the main consultation for City Plan 2030 in the first half of 2019. However, this is now not possible. The main consultation for City Plan 2030 is now expected to take place in the latter half of 2019. We will publish a new Development Plan Scheme in August 2019 which will include the new timetable.

Until then, we will use this time to gather and build on our evidence and studies for Choices for City Plan and hold further engagement events in local places around the city. In the meantime, watch this space and keep up to date with the project by:

Your views on future growth of Edinburgh and South East Scotland

UPDATE: August 2015
As the consultation is now halfway through, SESplan have prepared this useful summary of the events and how you can continue to get involved. 

The Strategic Development Plan is about long-term planning, setting a vision and spatial strategy for Edinburgh and South East Scotland.  As part of the preparation of the second Strategic Development Plan SESplan, the Strategic Development Plan Authority, have published a Main Issues Report.

The Main Issues Report is a consultation document which highlights the key challenges facing the region over the next 20 years and presents a series of issues and options on how to address them. This is summarised in an Easy Read Guide.

Consultation takes place from 21 July 2015 until 30 September 2015. A series of events are taking place across the area and details are available on the SESplan website. You can give your responses on the issues by submitting a response via the SESplan Consultation Portal.

Responses will be used to inform the policies in the second Strategic Development Plan.
