Information session on Treverlen Park

Maureen Child: This is the second of two information sessions about the new Treverlen Park, the new green space that is proposed to replace then old Portobello High School and current St John Primary School sites.  There has already been a very extensive and well documented consultation on the plans undertaken by the Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust (ELGT) and these plans are the outcome of that consultation.

The name was voted on by a majority of people who responded during that consultation and is an ancient name for Duddingston.  There is another chance to influence what goes there, as part of the statutory planning process. The second of two information sessions is on Thursday 15 December, 3.30pm-7.30pm in St John’s RC Primary School, Hamilton Terrace  in their current ICT Suite. All are welcome.

Today (Wednesday 7 December 2016), the development management committee agreed the PPP application and I asked that the full detail of the consultation come forward to us when we consider the detailed planning application.
