QDCC invites feedback on the draft place plan prior to submission to City of Edinburgh council. Please submit any comment by email to info@queensferrycommunitycouncil.co.uk by 31st Jan 2026 latest. Thank you.

Queensferry & District Community Council have prepared this Local Place Plan developed through a community-led, government supported process.

It aims to present the Queensferry community’s long-term vision, regeneration strategy and project proposals for their town.

The Plan is based on a wealth of community engagement and stakeholder consultations gathered over a fifteen year period, together with relevant economic baseline information covering approximately the same period. It aligns closely with the National Planning Framework (NPF4) aims and policies, focusing on sustainable, liveable and productive places.

The Place Plan will inform the preparation of funding bids and will be submitted to The City of Edinburgh Council as a statutory Local Place Plan, which once registered will be taken into account in the preparation of the next Local Development Plan (LDP) known as City Plan 2040. The LDP is the Council’s development and land-use based plan setting out where development should and should not happen.
