Perhaps it gives them some sort of squatting rights to development in the area?</p> <p>For what it's worth the plans look not bad if adapted with CCWEL project changes in due course. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18803#post-281698 Wed, 02 May 2018 15:14:24 +0000 neddie 281698@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A planning application for improvements to the public realm in Charlotte Square has been submitted:</p> <p><a href="https://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/propertyDetails.do?activeTab=relatedCases&amp;keyVal=LUFWTOEW03300" rel="nofollow">https://citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/propertyDetails.do?activeTab=relatedCases&amp;keyVal=LUFWTOEW03300</a></p> <p>It dates originally from 2015 approved plans (and originally an extension of the 2011 plans), i.e. long before the CCWEL was thought of.</p> <p>Remarkably, <strong>no cycle lanes or any other cycle facilities are shown at all</strong> (except cycle parking), despite recognising that the square lies on NCN 1. Cyclists are presumably expected to share the roads and junctions with other traffic as they do now.</p> <p>How can this possibly square with what is proposed in terms of the City Centre West-East Cycle Link and the Central Edinburgh Transformation?</p> <p>Please object if this concerns you.</p> <p>ref: 18/01763/FUL </p>
