WEEKLY PLANNING BULLETIN Date: 27 July 2010 g. 1 WEEKLY PLANNING BULLETIN Date: 27 July 2010 Section 1 Recently Registered Planning Applications The Weekly Planning Bulletin is divided into 3 sections sorted by Electoral Ward. Section 1 is the list of recently registered applications, section 2 is the list of Proposal of Application Notices and section 3 is the list of recent decisions. If there are no applications or notices in a ward, the ward name will appear and there will be a blank space underneath. This section contains details of planning applications registered since the last bulletin. You can inspect the plans, forms and other documents at the address below. Opening times are 8:30 - 17:00 Mon-Thurs, 8:30 – 15:40 Friday. Alternatively, you can view this information on the Planning and Building Standards Portal using the website address below If you want to make comments on the application, you can do this in a number of ways. BY POST to the Head of Planning, City Development Department, Business Unit G2, Waverley Court, 4 East Market Street, Edinburgh EH8 8BG ONLINE through the Planning and Buildings Standards Portal at www.edinburgh.gov.uk Ward A1 - Almond Ward A2 – Pentland Hills Ward A3 – Drum Brae/Gyle Ward A4 – Forth Ward A5 – Inverleith Ward A6 – Corstorphine/Murrayfield Ward A7 – Sighthill/Gorgie Ward A8 – Colinton/Fairmilehead Ward A9 – Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart Ward A10 – Meadows/Morningside Ward A11 – City Centre Ward A12 – Leith Walk Ward A13 – Leith Ward A14 – Craigentinny/Duddingston Ward A15 – Southside/Newington Ward A16 – Liberton/Gilmerton Ward A17 – Portobello/Craigmillar Pg. 2 Making Representations Your comments must be received within 21 days of the date of neighbour notification or advertisement in the press, whichever is later. These periods are extended for public holidays. Anonymous comments will not be taken into account and we need your name and address as your representation will become part of the application record, which is a public document. The comments you make will be made publicly available once the application has been determined and will be available to view on the Council website. Any comments that are racist will not be accepted and may be sent to the police for further investigation. Further advice on Commenting on Planning Proposals and Applications can be found on the Council website. Understanding the plans : The Planning Help Desk has a duty planner ready to help you, if you need assistance understanding the plans. What can I comment on? : The planning system is essentially about the development and use of land and buildings so any comments made on applications should be relevant to this. These are called ‘material considerations’ If you submit comments which are non material they will not be taken into account. This can be difficult to understand so we have given you some examples below. EXAMPLES Material Non-Material contrary to Local Plan/Structure Plan Devaluation of property Appearance (design, materials, scale, etc.) Loss of private view residential amenity e.g. noise, overshadowing Business issues relating to the applicant traffic, parking or access problems Possible fire hazard Acknowledgement of receipt of Representations You will receive an acknowledgement of your representation and we will let you know if it is material to the application. You will also be informed of the decision. Most applications are processed by delegated decision whereby planning officers decide applications under a publicly accountable process. If, however, there are more than six representations and these take an opposing view from the recommendation, then the application will be decided by your elected councillors on the Development Management Sub-Committee.

  • BCS Paper 2016/31 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency Considerations for City of Edinburgh and West Lothian
    Boundary Commission for Scotland BCS Paper 2016/31 2018 Review of UK Parliament Constituencies Constituency considerations for City of Edinburgh and West Lothian council areas Action required 1. The Commission is invited to consider alternative designs of constituencies for City of Edinburgh and West Lothian council areas in furtherance of its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies. Background 2. On 24 February 2016, the Commission began its 2018 Review of UK Parliament constituencies with a view to making its recommendations by October 2018 in tandem with the other UK parliamentary boundary commissions. 3. The review is being undertaken in compliance with the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, as amended. The Act stipulates a UK electoral quota of 74,769.2 electors and use of the parliamentary electorate figures from the December 2015 Electoral Register. The 5% electorate limits in the Act correspond to an electorate of no less than 71,031 and no more than 78,507. 4. The Act requires the Commission to recommend the name, extent and designation of constituencies in Scotland, of which there are to be 53 in total. 2 Scottish constituencies are prescribed in the Act: Orkney and Shetland Islands constituency and Western isles constituency. 5. The Act provides some discretion in the extent of the Commission’s regard to the size, shape and accessibility of constituencies, existing constituencies and the breaking of local ties. As this review is considered to be the first following enactment of the legislation (the 6th Review was ended before completion in 2013 following enactment of the Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013) the Commission need not have regard to the inconveniences attendant on changes to constituencies.

  • Nationalism, Party Political Discourse and Scottish Independence: Comparing Discursive Visions of Scotland’S Constitutional Status
    Nationalism, party political discourse and Scottish independence: comparing discursive visions of Scotland’s constitutional status Abstract This article critically examines the predominant narratives which emanated from party political discourse in relation to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. Utilising a methodological approach centring on political discourse analysis (Fairclough and Fairclough 2012), this paper analyses party manifestos and constitutional policy documents produced by the three largest political parties represented in the Scottish Parliament, namely the pro- independence Scottish National Party and two pro-union parties, Scottish Labour and the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party. The emergent discourse of each party is interrogated by drawing upon pertinent theoretical concepts from previous academic analyses of Scottish nationalism, with particular attention given to those which have deployed modernist and ethnosymbolist theoretical approaches when analysing the Scottish context. This facilitates a critical reflection on the contrasting and nuanced narratives of the Scottish nation’s past and future espoused by each political party vis-à-vis modernist and ethnosymbolist theory, illustrating the ways in which contrasting theorisations of nationalism are empirically tangible within political discourse, and are thus not simply theoretical abstractions. Key words: Scottish nationalism, Scottish independence, political discourse, ethnosymbolism, modernism Introduction As argued in the seminal work of Kedourie

  • 4. the Water of Leith As Stated in the Introduction, This Will Be a Briefer
    4. The Water of Leith As stated in the Introduction, this will be a briefer account than those for the other rivers, following the same template in the upper reaches, but focussing on tributaries past and present once within the city boundary of Edinburgh, until the last stretch through Leith. The sources of the Water of Leith are springs at near 400m height on the northern slopes of West Cairn Hill and Colzium Hill, in the Pentland Range. These feed three streams, rather unimaginatively named, ‘West Burn’, ‘Mid Burn’, and ‘East Burn’, which join together near the hamlet of Colzium, to form the Water of Leith, at Grid Reference NT 086 589. From here, the small river winds north-east for c2.5km until it enters Harperrig Reservoir. This large artificial body of water has a surface area of 94 hectares, and is shaped something like an open-mouthed flounder, with its tail to the south-west, where the Water of Leith enters, and with its jaws to the east. The reservoir was opened in 1860, and its function was to store water which could be used, especially during dry spells, to compensate for water abstracted from the springs referred to above, their effusions having been piped into the Edinburgh water supply. Reservoir water was released as needed to maintain the river flow which drove many mills in the 19th century. Somewhat perversely, its function has turned full-circle, as with the mills defunct, it now holds back water which would otherwise increase the risk of flooding in Edinburgh after heavy rain.

  • Leith Neighbourhood Network Inaugural Meeting, 30 May 2019
    Leith Neighbourhood Network inaugural meeting, 30 May 2019 This report based is on my notes taken at the meeting, and my recollections on 7 June 2019. The meeting was opened by Evelyn Kilmurry (North East Locality Manager – Place, City of Edinburgh Council). She stated that her role is to facilitate/support the network, and noted that there are three other neighbourhood networks (NNs) in northeast Edinburgh. NNs are ward-based, so in NE Edinburgh the NNs are Leith/Leith Walk, Craigentinny/Duddingston and Portobello/Craigmillar. The latter two NNs also had their inaugural meetings this week. Evelyn said that the aims of this meeting are to be informal, to enable networking, to find what Leith NN can do to make things better for Leith people. The point of NNs is to enable local people to have their say. Hence NN members are local people, not council staff or elected members. What is an NN? Evelyn stated that it is not a council service or committee, and that it is not a place to make service requests or complaints. NNs must meet at least once each year, to engage with local people and the wider community, e.g. on service development. Each NN is a place for community groups to work together with service providers to solve problems, and to deliver the priorities in the local improvement plan, e.g. action on child poverty, social isolation and loneliness, improving environment. It is up to the NN members to develop its membership. Hence we should start by looking into whether we want to grow or refine Leith NN’s membership, starting with the current list.

The Act makes provision for the designation of conservation areas as distinct from individual buildings, and planning authorities are required to determine which parts of their areas merit conservation area status. There are currently 38 conservation areas in Edinburgh, including city centre areas, Victorian suburbs and former villages. Each conservation area has its own unique character and appearance. Character Appraisals The protection of an area does not end with conservation area designation; rather designation demonstrates a commitment to positive action for the safeguarding and enhancement of character and appearance.
