East Lothian Council Evidence Report for LDP2

Overview

East Lothian Council is required to prepare an Evidence Report as the first stage of preparing the next Local Development Plan (LDP2). The Evidence Report will contain detailed information on a range of planning matters for the county, and will be submitted to the Scottish Government for approval through the Gatecheck procedure.

We are consulting with the public and interested parties on whether the evidence we have is sufficient. A series of detailed Factsheets on different subject areas to be covered in the Evidence Report have been prepared to assist with the public consultation. These are available below.  

Public events were held in each main town in June. There is now an online consultation tool available via Storymap (ArcGIS) which has a series of surveys to complete. The link "Evidence Report Public Consultation" below will take you to the Storymap and surveys.

Further information is also available on our website:
