Proposed Local Development Plan

Following Council approval on 22 January 2015, East Dunbartonshire Council will soon be publishing its Proposed Local Development Plan for consultation. The Proposed Plan sets out the Council’s land use strategy for East Dunbartonshire and will be used to determine planning applications. More information about the Plan can be found at:

Core path

Hacking & Paterson are currently carrying out path maintenance and drainage works to the Core Path which runs along the back of Dunellan Road and Douglas Muir Drive. Trees will also be planted to replace the ones taken down unnecessarily at the back of Dunellan Road.  The small section of woodland at this area is being placed under a Tree Preservation Order by East Dunbartonshire Council (EDC).  This now means that the entire woodland along the Core Path will be protected by Tree Preservation Orders and any works must be carried out through Hacking & Paterson who will consult with EDC. Unauthorised tree removal will result in further action and possible fines. It is hoped that these works will improve the area.

Thanks also go to the Ramblers who have already carried out improvement works to the Core Path at the Chestnut Lane area.

Proposed residential development at land known as Fire Station Field, Craigdhu Road, Milngavie

Residents are invited to attend David Wilson Homes West Scotland's public exhibition of proposals to develop the land known as Fire Station Field on Craigdhu Road, Milngavie.

As you may be aware, David Wilson Homes West Scotland assumed control of the site in late 2014. During the ongoing pre-application discussions with East Dunbartonshire Council, a Proposal of Application Notice was submitted on 7th November 2014 (Ref: TP/ED/14/0837) which outlined their consultation plans in advance of lodging a planning application in 2015. A copy was also sent to Milngavie Community Council and they have written to them separately in their capacity as the representative for the local
community.

In recognition of the impact that this development will have on residents, there will be a public event on Friday, 23rd January 2015 from 14:00 to 20:00 at the Fraser Centre, Douglas Street, Milngavie.

The exhibition will provide an opportunity to discuss the proposals, explain the work that has been completed to date and obtain your views in advance of submitting a full planning application.

There is no need to register. Simply arrive at the exhibition when it suits you.
