Drummond House - Edinburgh Green

The Edinburgh City Plan 2030 is Edinburgh’s Local Development Plan (‘LDP’) for the period 2022-2032 and seeks to shape the future of Edinburgh to ensure the growth of the city’s economy and its long-term sustainability.

It sets out a number of key aims, including:

• The delivery of a network of 20-minute walkable neighborhoods, embedding a ‘place-based’ approach
• The regeneration of brownfield land
• Requiring all buildings to be net-zero in their operational emissions
• Adopting an infrastructure first approach
• Developing Edinburgh’s key economic land use needs

Within the City Plan the site is located in an area that is designated by the Council as Edinburgh Park/South Gyle.

The City Plan supports further development of Edinburgh Park/South Gyle which “maintains the strategic employment role of the area and  introduces a wider mix of uses”, to form a “thriving mixed use and well-integrated part of the city”.

The City Plan contains Development Principles for Edinburgh Park/South Gyle. The site sits within the EP-1 Sub Area, where a mix of uses are supported, including business uses and further office development, as well as the creation of new green spaces.
