Item number Report number Wards B01 - Almond Summary The application represents a National Development proposal in Edinburgh, situated with close proximity to the A8 Corridor, Edinburgh Airport and Edinburgh Gateway Station.

  • Geddes) Introduction
    “by leaves we live” (Image: National Library of Scotland) ‘……….there is arising anew the most real and vital of all educational developments – that of starting from the local experience, seeing our world, and taking part in it……….Observe how people live and work: and this as far as may be by sharing in their work and life, from hills down to sea and back again…..So – as I have been saying all along – get beyond books, and even ball games, and into active survey, always growing and extending, of the real world around you. And seeking out, and finding out, what your life can best do to help in that, to be of service to it …..’ (Geddes) Introduction Family home at Mount Tabor Cottage, Kinnoull Hill, Perth, Scotland Tay Valley image used as an educational resource at the Outlook Tower, Edinburgh Kinnoull Tower, an inspiration for Geddes’s Outlook Towers Perth City within its valley section The Naturalist’s Classroom - Perth and its hinterland inspired Geddes’s interest in the natural world during his formative school years at Perth Academy and in his youth. Located in the scenic and historical landscape of Kinnoull Hill, his family home at Mount Tabor Cottage presented the ideal outdoor laboratory for Geddes; a place from which to explore and experience Perthshire. The Tay valley and surrounding region had an enduring influence on his life, teaching and work in places such as Edinburgh, London, Paris, Cyprus, America, India and Palestine. As Geddes described it, the family cottage had the open country at its back and an urban cultural centre in front: a strategic location in a complete natural region from mountains to sea.

  • Edinburgh City Council, Spaces for People East Craigs Low Traffic Neighbourhood Spokes Response, July 2020
    Edinburgh City Council, Spaces for People East Craigs Low Traffic Neighbourhood Spokes response, July 2020 Spokes strongly welcomes the Low Traffic Neighbourhood plans for East Craigs. It will help create an environment which encourages and supports walking and cycling, will remove the severe rat-running on Craigs Road and will improve conditions for cycling to Craigmount High School. Only today, Cabinet Secretary for Transport Michael Matheson again urged people to resist the “obvious temptation” to return to car use, and to work from home or to “walk or cycle where possible” - with the Spaces for People scheme intended to assist this. The proposals create a number of cul-de-sacs not that dissimilar to the 40-hectare Bughtlin estate which all exits via Maybury Drive. With the building work having started on new homes at Cammo fields & West Craigs (the latter to exit onto Craigs Road west of Maybury Road) the traffic is only going to get worse. Whilst we are aware of calls for a widespread consultation on the proposals, we support this programme being under Spaces For People, taking account of stakeholder comments, with rapid implementation on a “try then modify” basis. This approach has proved successful so far with a wide range of smaller schemes and should be continued for this temporary area-wide scheme. Furthermore, a major consultation could delay the proposals to the extent that they could not be funded under Spaces for People and therefore might well never be attempted in any form. General comments For reasons of safety it is vital that temporary cycle lanes which cross junction mouths are as prominent as possible.
