Another major new development of housing, hotels, retail and offices is being proposed on the land to the west of Maybury Road and north of Craigs Road.
The proposed development is a new one and is in addition to the plan for new housing at Cammo which is currently being considered by the city council’s planners.
Almond Lib Dem councillors Kevin Land and Louise Young alerted Facebook followers:
“A development of this scale must undergo public consultation before a planning application can be submitted to the Council.
“The developers are therefore holding a public information event from 2pm -7pm on Monday 3 December at the Marriott Hotel at the Maybury.
“Because this development is proposed on land currently designated as greenbelt, a final decision would need to be taken by the full Council and not just the planning committee. This means both of us as Councillors would be able to vote.
“As a result, we are not allowed to comment on these proposals ahead of the final Council debate and decision. Doing so could bar us from voting. We hope people will understand this.
However, as ward councillors, we are still allowed to ask for and listen to our constituents’ views before a decision is taken. We would strongly encourage folks to go along to the consultation event and to email us their views – kevin.lang@edinburgh.gov.uk and/or louise.young@edinburgh.gov.uk”
Certainly worth fighting your way through the traffic to attend this – Ed …
