Planning Committee – 3 October 2018 Page 4 of 4 Minutes Planning Committee 2.00pm, Wednesday 22 August 2018 Present Councillors Gardiner (Convener), Child (Vice-Convener), Booth, Dixon, Gordon, Griffiths, McLellan, Mitchell, Mowat, Osler and Staniforth. 1. Deputation – The Save Leith Walk Campaign Group The Committee agreed to hear a deputation from the Save Leith Walk Campaign Group to raise concerns about the process for members of the community to have a say on the future of popular local buildings whether there was an outstanding planning application on them or not. The deputation highlighted the following: Concerns were raised about the future of the building at 106-154 Leith Walk, Edinburgh. Historic Environment Scotland (HES) had considered the building for listing but it did not meet the strict criteria of architectural design or historical significance. However, HES did say that the diversity of buildings on the west side of Leith Walk was significant, which was where 106-154 Leith Walk was located. It was the view of The Save Leith Walk Campaign that cultural, economic and social values should play a part in determining the future of particular buildings in our community. It was acknowledged that there was a new community planning structure being implemented but this would not prevent developers that were refused planning permission to demolish buildings submitting new applications for approval. It was suggested by the deputation that if the Planning Committee agreed that the demolition of a public building was not in the interests of the community, there should be a moratorium on future planning applications for demolitions for 5 years. The deputation also suggested that the Council should consider building maintenance orders to prevent buildings from becoming neglected and falling into disrepair. The Convener thanked the deputation and invited them to stay in the public gallery for the remainder of the meeting. 2. Minutes Decision To approve the minute of the Planning Committee of the 30 May 2018 as a correct record. 3. Zero Carbon New Buildings - Feasibility Planning Committee on the 11 December 2017 agreed a motion to receive a report in 3 cycles that set out the feasibility of introducing an Edinburgh Standard for Zero Carbon New Buildings. Committee considered a report that assessed the feasibility of such a policy and set out how best the Council could ensure that new buildings in Edinburgh achieved zero carbon. Motion To approve a review of the Council’s approach to achieving zero carbon new buildings in Edinburgh as part of the preparation of the next local development plan. - Moved by Councillor Gardiner, seconded by Councillor Child Amendment 1 To approve a review of the Council’s approach to achieving zero carbon new buildings in Edinburgh as part of the preparation of the next local development plan, and therefore to agree to consult as part of the main issues report on how greater sustainability could be achieved in new developments in Edinburgh by requiring new domestic and non-domestic developments to achieve gold or platinum level sustainability criteria in some or all of the 8 aspects set out in the Scottish Building Standards handbook, together with a timetable for achieving this, and consideration of a mechanism to periodically review the standards and the sustainability levels required. - Moved by Councillor Booth, seconded by Councillor Staniforth In terms of Standing Order 21(11), the amendment was accepted as an addendum to the motion.
