Disrupting place attachment has a negative impact on people’s psychological well-being and the health of their communities. Place attachment can motivate people’s engagement in civic actions to protect their beloved places from being destroyed, especially when buildings and public spaces are demolished or redeveloped in historic places. However, the UK planning and heritage sectors have made only limited attempts to understand people’s attachment to the historic environment and how it may influence planning, conservation and development that affects historic places.

    Development Management Sub Committee Wednesday 17 December 2014 Application for Planning Permission 14/03513/FUL At 34B Haddington Place, Edinburgh, EH7 4AG Erection of mixed use development comprising student accommodation, retail, cafe and restaurant uses. Item number Report number Wards A12 - Leith Walk Summary The site is within the urban area in the Edinburgh City Local Plan. The proposed student housing use is acceptable in terms of the locational guidance, but does result in the 30% threshold being exceeded. The breach is considered to be relatively minor in the context of the location of the site and the character of the area. The proposal will not result in an excessive concentration of student housing and therefore complies with Edinburgh City Local Plan Policy Hou 10 Student Housing. The retail and café/restaurant uses are also appropriate uses within the town centre. The design, height and scale of the building are acceptable and alongside the proposed materials will not be detrimental to the conservation area, adjacent listed building or inventory site. The proposal will not be detrimental in terms of amenity, is acceptable in relation to the proposed transport measures, sustainability, drainage and archaeology. There are no material considerations which outweigh this conclusion.

  • Leith Neighbourhood Network Inaugural Meeting, 30 May 2019
    Leith Neighbourhood Network inaugural meeting, 30 May 2019 This report based is on my notes taken at the meeting, and my recollections on 7 June 2019. The meeting was opened by Evelyn Kilmurry (North East Locality Manager – Place, City of Edinburgh Council). She stated that her role is to facilitate/support the network, and noted that there are three other neighbourhood networks (NNs) in northeast Edinburgh. NNs are ward-based, so in NE Edinburgh the NNs are Leith/Leith Walk, Craigentinny/Duddingston and Portobello/Craigmillar. The latter two NNs also had their inaugural meetings this week. Evelyn said that the aims of this meeting are to be informal, to enable networking, to find what Leith NN can do to make things better for Leith people. The point of NNs is to enable local people to have their say. Hence NN members are local people, not council staff or elected members. What is an NN? Evelyn stated that it is not a council service or committee, and that it is not a place to make service requests or complaints. NNs must meet at least once each year, to engage with local people and the wider community, e.g. on service development. Each NN is a place for community groups to work together with service providers to solve problems, and to deliver the priorities in the local improvement plan, e.g. action on child poverty, social isolation and loneliness, improving environment. It is up to the NN members to develop its membership. Hence we should start by looking into whether we want to grow or refine Leith NN’s membership, starting with the current list.
