Balerno Community Council (BCC) are developing a Local Place Plan for Balerno, and they are asking for your help.
We’ll be at the Farmers Market this Saturday, 13 September, and we’d like to hear your views.
What is a local place plan? Simply, it is so communities can develop a specific, local vision for their area's development and future use of land. That’s really important because Edinburgh Council would have to take a Balerno Local Place Plan into account when developing its own development plan.
The plan has to show that you, the local residents, have been involved in its preparation and a Local Place Plan can help shape the future physical environment, address local needs, and promote community engagement in planning decisions.
In doing that, it helps foster an even stronger sense of place and spirit.
So please, if you’re at the market on Saturday do call at BCC’s stall for a chat.
Watch this page also for updates on the process as it develops.
