I have recently spoken with the applicant and told them we will be submitting comment to them in response to this proposal. The applicant will be holding <strong>two open exhibitions</strong> on the proposal on 1st and 2nd September. These will be at <strong>The White House, Craigmillar (4-7.30 pm) on 1 September and Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre, Moredun (4-7.30 pm) on 2 September</strong>. </p> <p>A second Pre Application Notice (PAN) (ref. 15/03214/PAN) has been submitted to City of Edinburgh Council. It includes much of the above site, and also additional adjacent land at Edmonstone at The Wisp (all of it within Edinburgh) for a residential and park development. The applicant is Sheratan Ltd. There is a <strong>public exhibition</strong> for this second proposal at the <strong>Hays Business Centre (3.30-7.30 pm) (Hay Avenue, off Niddrie Mains Road) 18 August</strong>. The Planning service will also seek further information on this proposal. </p> <p>For clarification, if that is helpful, at this Pre Application Notice stage no planning application has been submitted to the planning authority for assessment. For these two proposals the applicant is required to publicise them and consider any comments received for incorporation into the planning application when it is submitted to the planning authority.</p> <p></em><br /> """ </p>
