Development Plans
The key role of SESplan is to prepare and maintain an up to date Strategic Development Plan (SDP) for the Edinburgh and South East Scotland area. The SESplan area was approved by Scottish Ministers on 12 November 2008 and confirmed in Circular 3/08.
The process of preparing the SDP will take
a number of years to complete and a project timeline has been
prepared. It will also involve engaging
and collaborating with key stakeholders and the wider community.
Work on the SDP is to commence shortly and when completed
this plan will replace the existing Edinburgh and Lothians
Structure Plan, the Fife Structure Plan and the Scottish Borders
Structure Plan. This plan, arguably the most important development
plan to be produced in the last 20years, will cover an area
of population of 1.2 million and 521,000 (2006) households
and is expected to grow by 12.5% from 2004-24 compared with
less than 1% for Scotland as a whole. The plan is intended
to facilitate and provide the steer for the future development
and growth across the Edinburgh city region from 2012 to 2032.
It will have to address and set a path for South East Scotland
through a wide range of challenging issues including the economic
downturn and the credit crunch.
