The Strategic Development Plan will decide how much land is needed for housing, business and other development and where it should be located for the next 20 years.

SESplan is preparing a Strategic Development Plan for Edinburgh and South East Scotland. It covers The City of Edinburgh, East Lothian, the southern part of Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian and will play an important role in providing the planning framework for future sustainable economic growth across the SESplan area.

As an important first stage in the SDP process, a MAIN ISSUES REPORT (MIR) has been prepared. Its purpose is to set out the context and challenges facing the SESplan area around the key areas of economy, population and housing, transport and infrastructure, environment, resources and climate change. We would like to know what you think about these important issues which will affect the future of your area.
