Planning Overview
City Plan 2030 is due to be adopted imminently and will become the key policy document guiding development in the City. The Plan contains a number of place-based policies covering sites which have a key role in delivering the future spatial strategy for the city. The site is located in Place 19 Edinburgh Park / South Gyle and Area EP 3 within this. This policy aims to promote a better mix of uses in the area whilst still retaining its important role as a strategic business location.
Area EP 3-5 - Redevelopment opportunity on vacant land and adjacent sites currently occupied by vacant office buildings:
a) Proposals should incorporate a mix of business and residential uses and create an element of active commercial frontage onto South Gyle Broadway.
b) A mixed-use development provides the opportunity to create new pedestrian and cycle routes through the site.
c) In EP 3 and EP 4, commercial and mixed-use proposals will be supported. Where practicable, development should provide increased permeability, create a direct relationship with South Gyle Broadway and improve the pedestrian and cycling environment along South Gyle Crescent.
Other key considerations include:
- Embodied carbon and biodiversity.
- Incoming 35% affordable housing contribution for schemes over 12 units.
- Wider Developer Contributions a key consideration in scheme viability.
- Policy ECON2 requires proposals for commercial uses within the urban area on sites 0.25 ha or larger to provide at least 50% of the site for housing (where compatible and appropriate within the site context).
- Amenity of potential occupiers and neighbours.
Overall, there is support for the redevelopment of this site and wider area subject to compliance with relevant policies.
