THE City of Edinburgh Council is inviting residents to share views on the regeneration of Seafield – a massive project that includes 2,700 homes.
Plans for the development are set out in the Edinburgh City Plan 2030 the include a new promenade, GP surgery and new shops and workplaces.
The coastal site could also provide new homes with 35% of the planned 2,700 being affordable, to address the capital’s housing emergency.
A heat network which will “help keep energy bills down whilst contributing to the city’s net zero targets” is also planned.
The consultation closes on Wednesday 30 April with the council encouraging residents to take part and have their say.
Residents can also attend a drop-in session to discuss the plans or take part in the online survey via the consultation hub.
Planning convener James Dalgleish said: “Our draft plan to transform Seafield into a new environmentally friendly neighbourhood will take us one step further to tackling our housing emergency and reaching net zero by 2030.
“This is a chance for residents to shape the future of the area – whether it’s about improving transport links, preserving green spaces or introducing new community facilities and we’re eager to hear everyone’s ideas for a Seafield that serves the whole community.
“I’d encourage everyone to share their views with us by filling in our online survey or coming along to one of our consultation drop-in events.”
