Events

Midlothian Council invites the public to take part in the pre-application consultation for the proposed road improvements at Bush Loan.

In person

We will be holding an in-person drop-in event on:

• Monday 10 June 2024 between 4.30pm and 7.30pm at
  Bilston Primary School, Bilston, Roslin, EH25 9SD, Midlothian

We would like to invite you to our pre-application consultation event so you can learn more about the project and we can hear your views.

By post

For further information, or if you are unable to attend the consultation event but would still like to provide comment, please write to:

• Bush Loan Road Improvements
  Wardell Armstrong LLP
  Great Michael House
  14 Links Place
  Edinburgh EH6 7EZ

Any comments should be received no later than Friday 21 June 2024.

Please note that any comments made to the applicant are not representations to Midlothian Council Planning Authority and when the applicant submits a planning application there will be an opportunity to make direct representations to Midlothian Council’s Planning Authority.

Please also note that this community event is not a statutory requirement of The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 2013 due to the ‘local’ scale of the proposal.

Representatives from the project team will be available to discuss the proposals and there will be an opportunity to give feedback at the event. You can also email your views by 17 July and request the drawings by contacting:

• phsproject@iceniprojects.com 

The proposals

The proposed work includes altering and partially demolishing listed buildings, building new extensions and other improvements including sports pitches, landscaping, parking, roads and refuse storage. 

Shaping the planning application

Local people’s views will help shape the proposed planning application. The external project team will host another drop in about how they’ve considered all comments to date.  

Statutory consultation process

This public consultation forms part of the statutory pre-application consultation process and comments should not be made to Midlothian Council Planning Department at this time.

Not comments to the planning authority

Any comments made in relation to the prospective application are not comments to the planning authority. If a planning application is submitted to Midlothian Council as planning authority, normal neighbour notification and publicity will be undertaken at that time and you will have the opportunity to make formal representations regarding the proposal then.

Thanks for coming to the informal drop-in

There has already been one informal drop-in about the proposals on 23 May 2024.
