FINAL PRE-APPLICATION CONSULTATION – FORMER RBS SITE

SITE AT FETTES ROW/ DUNDAS STREET/ EYRE TERRACE/ EYRE PLACE, EDINBURGH

In response to the developing coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and associated government guidance, the agents acting on behalf of Ediston and Orion Capital Managers in respect of the redevelopment of the above site announced that the additional public exhibition (the 3rd & final), would be an online exhibition. Information was to have been made available to the public via the New Town North website (www.newtownnorth.co.uk) from midday on 2 April 2020.

However the shift in working procedures resulting from the government’s response to Covid19 caused a delay in the preparation of information for the online exhibition. The information will now be made available from midday on 9 April 2020.

NTBCC understand that the intent is to make the online exhibition as interactive as possible, allowing members of the public direct access to the design team to address specific points and answer questions. Additionally, there will be an opportunity to complete and return a consultation questionnaire online.

We have now been advised that those viewing the online exhibition will also be able to submit questions / points of clarification via links embedded in the online exhibition material between 12pm and 8pm on Thursday 9 April. The project team will then respond to individuals by phone as soon as possible (and within 7 days at the absolute latest), in order to mimic an in-person exhibition as much as possible.

There will also be an opportunity for people to submit an online feedback form in order for them to formally record their comments.

The deadline for submitting comments is Friday 1 May.

The exhibition material will remain available on the website alongside the material from the September and December exhibitions which was made available online after each event.
