Edinburgh Local Development Plan 2040 - Call for Ideas 

Edinburgh City Council have issued a Call for ideas.
We’d like your proposals and ideas to help shape Edinburgh’s next local development plan - City Plan 2040.
The Plan will help guide development and set the direction for how places across the city will grow, change and be protected over the coming years. 
This is an opportunity for you to help us shape the vision, priorities and early proposals for the Proposed Plan.
This consultation builds on our earlier ‘what makes a good place?’ engagement and the ‘place and play’ engagement for children and young people. These helped us to put together the Evidence Report which was the first stage of preparing City Plan 2040. The feedback from those consultations is still relevant and will continue to be used.
Who can take part?Everyone – residents including young people, community councils, local groups, businesses, social enterprises, landowners, developers as well as public and third sector partners.
Is your idea related to planning?Your idea should focus on the use and development of land and buildings across Edinburgh.
This could be:
  • Showing us a site where you think development could happen
  • Telling us what you think should be built on a site
  • Pointing out buildings, spaces or sites you think should be kept or protected
  • Telling us what facilities or services you think are missing from your area or what could be improved
  • Suggesting new planning policy to stop or encourage certain planning uses
Our current local development plan, City Plan 2030, has more detail on what is covered in the planning process.
