  • ELBG Promoter Statement
    GROUP 12 – OBJECTION NO: 197 EDINBURGH AND LOTHIAN BADGER GROUP PROMOTER WITNESS STATEMENT BARRY CROSS ROSEBURN CORRIDOR/WESTERN GENERAL HOSPITAL 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 I am Barry Cross. Until April 2005 I was the Transport Planning Manager with the City of Edinburgh Council. Since April 2005 I have been the Project Development Director with tie ltd, an “arms’ length” company wholly owned by the City of Edinburgh Council. tie has been commissioned by the Council to develop and implement the Edinburgh Tram Project. 1.2 I have a BSc in Civil Engineering from the University of Salford and an MSc in Transportation Engineering from the University of Leeds. 1.3 I have been closely involved with the development of the Tram Project in Edinburgh since its inception. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The railway route from Roseburn to Crewe Toll was closed to passenger services in 1962 and to goods services in 1967/8. The land was bought as part of a package of routes by the City of Edinburgh Council’s predecessor, Lothian Regional Council. It has been safeguarded, first for a new road, and then for light rapid transit, since 1978. 2.2 In the 1980s Lothian Regional Council developed a two line Light Rapid Transit proposal, branded as ‘Edinburgh Metro’. It was proposed that the East-West Metro line should run off-street from Haymarket to Crewe Toll along the disused railway route from Roseburn through Ravelston, Craigleith and Drylaw. The Metro proposals failed to progress beyond the design and public consultation stages because of the high capital cost and affordability consequent upon the extensive tunnelling elsewhere on the project.

  • Objection to the Proposed Closure of East Craigs Post Office, Bughtlin Market, Edinburgh
    Objection to the Proposed Closure of East Craigs Post Office, Bughtlin Market, Edinburgh. From John Barrett Member of Parliament for Edinburgh West Margaret Smith Member of Scottish Parliament for Edinburgh West Robert Aldridge Edinburgh City Councillor for East Craigs ward. 1. Introduction On 22nd July 2004, Post Office Ltd announced their proposal to close 20 post offices in Edinburgh. This list included the East Craigs branch on Bughtlin Market. This post office is located within the East Craigs ward and Edinburgh West parliamentary constituency. As a result, we represent the vast majority of the people who use and depend on this post office. We object to the closure of East Craigs Post Office just as we did when the branch was last put forward for closure in 2000. We are surprised and dismayed that in such a short period of time, Post Office Ltd, despite being convinced of the merits of keeping the branch open four years ago, have chosen to come forward again with a proposal for closure. We believe the arguments put forward to keep the branch open are as valid now as they were then. We wish to state from the outset our belief that this entire Network Reinvention process is flawed at the most basic of levels. It is clear that Post Office Ltd have not conducted the promised review of the entire post office network in Edinburgh. We agree with the concerns expressed by Postwatch Scotland over the fact Post Office Ltd have only chosen branches for closure from those where the sub-postmaster has signalled their wish to leave the network and receive the compensation package.

In 1947, Britain was a dreary and difficult place to live, with the hardships and shortages of the Second World War still very much in evidence.

It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year.

  • 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).

  • Planning Committee
    Planning Committee 2.00pm, Wednesday, 12 December 2018 Planning Schemes of Delegation Item number Report number Executive/routine Wards All Council Commitments Executive Summary The schemes of delegation on planning applications allow officers to make decisions in the interests of an effective and efficient service. However, safeguards are required to ensure that there is an appropriate level of scrutiny by the Development Management Sub-committee of applications which raise issues of significant public interest. Following an investigation of circumstances leading to a delegated decision to approve a planning application at a major sporting venue, procedures are being tightened to reduce risk and deliver quality assurance. While the planning decision in this case remains as granted, it is recognised that a process was not in place which would have escalated the application to more senior Planning Officers for a second opinion. Report Planning Schemes of Delegation 1. Recommendations 1.1 That the Committee agrees to the proposed changes to procedures specified in paragraphs 3.24 – 3.28 to reduce risk and deliver quality assurance. 1.2 In relation to the planning application for an additional rugby stadium at Murrayfield, that the Committee notes the apology to interested parties from the Executive Director of Place in relation to the lack of a process which would have escalated the application to more senior Planning Officers for a second opinion on whether to refer the application to the Development Management Sub-committee for determination. 2. Background 2.1 In the main, delegated powers in respect of planning fall within the Council’s overall scheme of delegation to officers set out in terms of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.
