Cramond and Barnton Community Council (CBCC) are holding a Special Meeting at Cramond Kirk Hall next Thursday 12 September at 7pm.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss consider the developing plans for the remaining element of the Brighouse site with a view to agreeing, adjusting or rejecting the terms of a proposed response (see 2 below) which the CBCC is empowered to submit as a statutory consultee in the planning process.
John Loudon, Chair of CBCC said: “The main issue for discussion on 12 September concerns the developing plans for the remaining site on the Brighouse Campus. The CBCC has yet to submit its formal response to the PAN 1 exhibition which took place at the end of May and which was the subject of discussion at a CBCC meeting held on 22 June.
“The purpose of the 12 September meeting is to discuss the terms of that proposed response which the CBCC is empowered to submit as a statutory consultee in the planning process. The response for discussion will re-affirm – and support – the significant numbers of residents of the community who have already signalled their overwhelming backing for what is proposed by AMA. But it will also offer what it believes to be some suggestions for adjustments which it believes will further improve the amenity for the benefit of the community and without detriment to the viability of the development.”
Plans were displayed to the public at a manned exhibition that ran from 29 to 30 May 2024. Nearly 600 people returned comments through one means or another (most using the on-line form) to the organisers of the event. These reflected overwhelming support for the development of this remaining part of the Campus. There were very high levels of support for the sporting and recreational and sporting elements and for the shop, but far less support for the proposed Later Living accommodation and the Care Home.
