Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We asked our tenants, applicants and stakeholders for their views on the review of the Council’s Housing Allocations Policy. There were eight proposals for change up for discussion and we asked for your feedback.
Over 2,300 surveys were returned that contained over 10,000 comments on the policy review. Analysis showed that there was majority support for all eight of the proposals for change.
Having the collective support of our tenants, applicants and stakeholders provided the Council with a mandate to proceed with the Housing Allocations Policy review. All of the comments collected during the consultation process formed part of the Consultation Register and were responded to by the Housing Allocations Working Group. A Consultation Report was produced and submitted to Council and Elected Members detailing the consultation outcomes – this is also publically available. The revised Housing Allocations Policy will ‘go live’ on the 1st May 2019.
We asked for your views on the draft Town Centre Strategies for Musselburgh, Tranent, Prestonpans, Haddington, North Berwick and Dunbar. These will become Supplementary Guidance to the East Lothian Local Plan.
The majority of respondents agreed with the proposed actions and aims of the strategies. A number of proposed changes were put forward to make the strategies better. Over 65% of people said they wanted a Vision for each town centre.
Based on the feedback received, a Vision was introduced for each Town Centre and a number of changes were made to the Town Centre Strategies. These can be viewed in the report submitted to East Lothian Council on 26th February 2019.
Members of the public, partner organisations and other stakeholders were asked for their views on a draft Local Transport Strategy.
Over 100 people attended workshops in locations across East Lothian. A further 500 responses were received online.
A number of amendments were made to the Strategy based on feedback received via the consultation process - these can be viewed in the report submitted to East Lothian Council on 30th October 2018.
