In 2000, Edinburgh was among the first places in the UK to produce an action plan for biodiversity. This fourth edition continues the trend toward an action plan that is streamlined, focussed and deliverable. Partnership working and community involvement are still key elements. More than 30 members of the Edinburgh Biodiversity Partnership contribute to delivery, including Council departments, government agencies, national and local environmental charities, volunteer conservation bodies and community groups. The Edinburgh Biodiversity Partnership is represented on the Edinburgh Sustainable Development Partnership, which sits within the wider Edinburgh Partnership family. A landscape scale approach is required to achieve the vision of a city with: This fourth EBAP aims to build on previous • a natural environment valued for its natural capital and which aims to deliver multiple benefits, successes and continue with long term including social and economic; conservation projects such as the installation • improved connectivity of natural places; of swift nesting bricks. It also includes actions which help to achieve national and global • enhanced biodiversity which underpins ecosystem services; and targets for habitat creation and biodiversity gain, • a natural environment resilient to the threats of climate change, invasive species, habitat such as meadow creation and management.

  • North West Locality Open Space Action Plan
    North West Locality Open Space Action Plan March 2017 North West Edinburgh Open Space Action Plan (March 2017) Introduction This is one of four Open Space Action Plans to support delivery of Open Space 2021, Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy. Open Space is a key element of Edinburgh’s physical, social and environmental fabric and Open Space 2021 sets guiding standards for existing and new open space provision as the city grows. Through standards based on open space quality, size and distance from homes, the Strategy aims to increase the number of people that can benefit from greenspaces that are sustainably managed, biologically diverse and contribute to health and wellbeing. The Open Space Profile shows how the Locality compares to the overall picture of open space across the city, highlighting changes to provision. It is a working plan, to be reviewed periodically to capture collective efforts which lead to the improvement and extension of Edinburgh’s green network. Actions, including estimated costs, may be subject to review, further feasibility studies and change. The Action Plan sets out proposals to help reduce inequalities in access to good quality open space and play provision. In time, it will reflect local environment priorities emerging through co-production of Locality Improvement Plans by Community Planning partners. The first version shows citywide priorities identified by Edinburgh’s annual parks quality assessment and actions carried forward from the existing Play Area Action Plan (2011-16) and previous Open Space Strategy (2010). The Action Plan will co-ordinate ongoing open space management actions with those relating to development, including changes arising from individual planning decisions and the delivery of new parks and play areas through the adopted Edinburgh Local Development Plan (LDP).

  • Response 9 29 November 2004 Edinburgh Tram (Line Two) Bill
    Response 9 29 November 2004 Edinburgh Tram (Line Two) Bill Response for request for further written evidence at the committee meeting of 17 November 2004 Further information on the construction work programme including night and day working in relation to Baird Drive and other key areas around the route of the tram line. 1 The promoter has been asked to provide more information on construction work programme including night and day working. This was raised particularly in relation to Baird Drive however this response also provides further information about the work undertaken by tie and their advisors in relation to the general construction strategy for the tram line between central Edinburgh and the Airport and Newbridge. 2 In development of the scheme to the level required to submit the Bill, it was necessary to consider construction issues to a level of ensuring that the scheme could be constructed within the limits of deviation (LOD) and land to be acquired and used (LLAU). Even at this stage however it was clear that these issues would need to be investigated in considerably more detail to ensure that any impacts on affected parties would be acceptable and to consider ways in which they could be minimised or, where possible, eliminated. Outline assumptions which had been made in the scheme development to date were set out, including for example, the following: • most construction activity would be undertaken during a five day working week; • the working day would be 8am to 6pm; • night time working would be required at some locations
