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. -
Kaimes Renewable Energy Park
Customer Ref: 01736 Response Ref: ANON-KU2U-GPGW-V Supporting Info Name Scott Hobbs Planning Email [email protected] Response Type Agent / Consultant On behalf of: Kaimes Renewable Energy Park Choice 1 A We want to connect our places, parks and green spaces together as part of a city-wide, regional, and national green network. We want new development to connect to, and deliver this network. Do you agree with this? - Select support / don't support Short Response Yes Explanation Yes. In principle this is a good approach to delivering a sustainable, active and connected city. However, it is considered that the Choices paper has not considered all matters which should be considered in the emerging development plan in relation to sustainable development, in particular renewable energy and energy storage. The City Plan 2030 states “our city must address the impacts of climate change whilst providing people with a great place to live” however, does not provide any reference to renewable energy. Instead the plan focuses on green and blue infrastructure, water management and green space. Whilst these will contribute to delivering a sustainable city, the contributions are small in comparison to the benefits offered by renewable energy developments (including solar). The National Planning Framework 3 (NPF3) sets out the vision for Scotland which includes being a successful, sustainable place, a low carbon place and a natural, resilient place. In relation to the vision to achieve a low carbon Scotland, NPF3 recognises that, for Edinburgh, “energy will be an increasingly important sector, centred on the city and at sites around the Forth”. -

Meadowfield Farm, Turnhouse Road, Edinburgh
Development Management Sub Committee Wednesday 3 March 2021 Application for Planning Permission in Principle 20/03219/PPP at Land to South West of Meadowfield Farm, Turnhouse Road, Edinburgh. Mixed use development including business and employment uses (use classes 4, 5 and 6); residential (class 9) and sui generis flatted development (including affordable and student accommodation), hotels (class 7), ancillary uses including retail (class 1), financial and professional services (class 2), food and drink (class 3 and sui generis), non-residential institutions (class 10), assembly and leisure (class 11) and associated works including car parking, servicing, access and public realm. Item number Report number Wards B01 - Almond Summary The application represents a National Development proposal in Edinburgh, situated with close proximity to the A8 Corridor, Edinburgh Airport and Edinburgh Gateway Station. The nature of the proposed development including significant level of business and residential use is not supported by National Planning Policy (NPF 3), the SDP and Local Development Plan (LDP) specifically LDP Policy Emp 4, Edinburgh Airport, which seeks to guide proposals for airport expansion. The requirements of this policy have not been met, as the proposal is not supported by an agreed Airport masterplan, does not have functional or locational links to the airport, nor does it accord with the West Edinburgh Strategic Design Framework (WESDF). Development Management Sub-Committee – 3 March 2021 Page 1 of 94 20/03219/PPP The proposed masterplan, parameters plans and design code have not been developed to take account of the particular characteristics of the site and its context, nor has it been demonstrated that placemaking objectives would successfully be achieved to deliver a sustainable community. -
