Local Development Plan Update
East Dunbartonshire Council has
published an update on Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2), due to be adopted in
2022. You can download a copy of the
newsletter using the following link.
Thank you to all of you that took part in the early
engagement public consultation held by the Council from December 2018 to February
2019. The Council has received over 800
submissions which will be processed over the coming months.
The responses will be written up into a Report of
Consultation which will be published later in 2019, together with a Monitoring
Statement which will set out the evidence base for LDP2. The Council is also expected to publish a
Main Issue Report by the end of 2019. The
Main Issues Report will contain options for development and policy content and
will provide the next opportunity for our community to provide comments to the
Council.
Local Transport Strategy Update
Thank you to all of you who responded to the Local
Transport Strategy Options Report. The
council received over 200 responses. The
Draft Local Transport Strategy will be published for a final public
consultation later in 2019. The main
topics of interest raised with us were improvements to the junction of
Castlemains Road/Hunter Road, improved rail infrastructure to Milngavie,
development of the Allander Rail Halt and concerns over air quality due to
transport pollution. There was also some
interest in development of off-road cycle routes in Milngavie, including MERA’s
proposal to link Douglas Academy and Mearns Park to the Craigdhu Wedge and the Allander
Sports Centre.
