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.

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).
Kinleith Mill, Currie Design-Led Urban Regeneration

KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE - DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Built by CALA Homes, Kinleith Mill is the characterful regeneration of the former Kinleith Paper Mill site in Currie, an affluent and highly sought-after suburb of Edinburgh. Following the paper mill’s closure in 1966, the site played host to various industrial operations until its demolition in 1996. Vacant and littered with debris, the brownfield land occupied an 11 acre stretch next to the Water of Leith – a popular walking and cycle route – spoiling what was otherwise a tranquil waterside beauty spot. CALA Homes (East) purchased the site after previous attempts to build on it were thwarted by contamination, constrained access and complex engineering challenges. Today, this stretch of the river is home to a flourishing new community. Kinleith Mill comprises 89 contemporary homes, 22 of which are affordable, complemented by green open space and tree-lined walkways. It is an idyllic retreat, situated just off Lanark Road West, allowing excellent access to road and public transport links into Edinburgh and beyond. Paying homage to the architecture of the historic paper mill, the new homes at Kinleith Mill feature traditional red brick facades, punctuated by distinctive iron railings. Their impressive finish belies the host of challenges that came with transforming this brownfield site, and underlines the power of positive change achieved by well-considered design. PAGE 3 KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE - DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION FROM DESERTED INDUSTRIAL GROUND... The first records of the Kinleith Paper Mill site date back to the 1700s. Development began at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution with the construction of a paper mill, which was powered by a waterwheel in the Water of Leith.
