We’re asking people to share their views on our Choices for City Plan 2030, which sets out options for the sustainable management of future development during a time of major change, and our draft City Mobility Plan, a ten-year strategy for creating accessible, affordable and environmentally friendly travel in and around Edinburgh.

Our ‘Choices’ document asks people how we should allocate land going forward, from brownfield sites or greenbelt or a mix of the two, and if Edinburgh should be a short term let control zone implemented through new planning policies.

We’re asking lots of other questions as well to help us shape future development and inform planning decisions going forward. The two draft plans are closely linked and are being consulted on at the same time.

This will make sure any new development helps people to make healthier choices, improving quality of life through enhanced provision for walking and cycling, and better links to public transport connecting up the city for everyone to enjoy.So far we’ve had over 500 written responses - over 400 people attended events and more than 12,000 have engaged online. This is a great response but there’s still plenty of time to have your say as the deadline is 31 March. You can share comments and opinions on both by taking part in the consultations online, meeting the teams involved and you can find out more about the plans at several drop-in events being held across the city. Whatever your views, please respond before the 31 March.
