Threat to Mains Estate Greenbelt

East Dunbartonshire Council has to produce a Local Development Plan every five years. Consultation for the next planning cycle has already begun (LDP2). The protected greenbelt around the Mains Estate is now under threat. Development of this land would also put further pressure on local roads, schools and healthcare. The four-stage review process is already in operation and will take 5 years to complete. Developers will be lobbying EDC to re-designate this protected greenbelt land for building in LDP2.

What YOU can do to protect the greenbelt and our facilities:

(Consultation Period ends on MONDAY FEBRUARY 11th 2019)

1. Make a special effort to attend the EDC CONSULTATION WORKSHOP – Milngavie Town Hall, Thursday 17th January 2019 from 6 – 8 pm; places must be booked in advance. To book a place – register by email at development.plan@eastdunbarton.gov.uk or telephone EDC on 0300 123 4510 and ask for Land Planning Policy Team.
2. Send a personal written response by email to the council at development.plan@eastdunbarton.gov.uk. Please entitle the email: 'Response to Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2) Early Engagement'.
