East Lothian LDP2 Call for Sites

CALL FOR SITES

To help identify locations where land can be allocated to help deliver the spatial strategy of the next LDP.

(If the relevant information below is not provided the site will not be considered further in the LDP process)

Examples of type of sites being sought:

Employment (class 4, 5 or 6), Housing, Self-Build Housing sites, Care Homes, Leisure, Tourism, Woodland Planting, Cemeteries, Allotments, Nature based Solutions, Renewable Energy Developments, Drive Throughs. 

Points to Note:

Housing Land Requirement – At present the Council has not determined the final housing requirement therefore the number of new housing sites required to address any housing shortfall is still not confirmed.

Advice to community groups – If you have included a site in a Local Place Plan then you do not need to submit it again as part of this exercise. All sites included in registered LPPs will be assessed by Council officers using the criteria below and will be considered as part of the development of the LDP spatial strategy.

Completing the assessment - Not all criteria will be relevant for all sites. You do not need to fill in the ones that are not relevant for your proposal. For Housing sites, most criteria are relevant.

Spatial Information – As part of this consultation information is provided to highlight areas which may have more capacity than others for future development. Being in one of these areas of higher potential does not guarantee that a site will be acceptable and be included in the LDP.
