Update : new Local Development Plan : ‘City Plan 2030’

Email as received from Edinburgh Council’s Development Planning Programme Manager regarding the forthcoming adoption of the next Local Development Plan. This, along with NPF4 (National Planning Framework), will be the key document for determination of future planning applications.

City Plan 2030 Update

We are pleased to announce that we have received confirmation from the Scottish Government that the Council may proceed to adopt City Plan 2030 subject to modifications. You can see the Scottish Government letter here.

The modifications are principally minor amendments with the most notable change being an additional criterion for Policy Hou 3 Mixed Communities in relation to addressing local housing priorities by meeting identified gaps in provision.

Before we can adopt City Plan 2030, there are two final statutory stages:

  • Planning Committee on 23 October 2024
  • Full Council on 7 November 2024

We expect City Plan 2030 to be adopted as our local development plan on 8 November 2024. We will provide a further update to confirm this.

Lynne McMenemy I Development Planning Programme Manager I Development Planning I Planning and Building Standards | Sustainable Development I PLACE Directorate | The City of Edinburgh Council | Waverley Court, 2.4, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh, EH8 8BG |  email: cityplan2030@edinburgh.gov.uk
