Consultations - Help shape the next Local Development Plan

What you told us will help shape the new Midlothian Local Development Plan, which will be published once approved. Visit the links below to find out more about the outcome of each consultation.

If you had multiple ideas or opportunities for the next Midlothian Local Development Plan (MLDP 2), you were asked to please complete separate copies of the Citizen Space questionnaire for each one.

• Propose ideas and opportunities

Suggestions for protecting or allocating specific sites should have been made in the two questionnaires we had for these topics.

• Suggest a site to be protected from development
• Suggest a site to be developed
   

Local Development Plans set out how an area should look in the future by deciding the type and scale of development, where buildings should be allowed, how land should be used and where existing spaces and buildings should be protected.

If you have not already done so, we would like to hear your thoughts on green space, nature, new housing, employment, infrastructure, community use, or renewable energy in Midlothian. Climate change will need to be a central part of MLDP2. Therefore, ideas on this and related matters such as flooding and food security would be welcome.

• A summary of the topics covered by the Local Development Plan

The Scottish Government’s National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) sets the overall policy on many of these topics. The role of MLDP2 is to supplement these policies within the specific local context of Midlothian.
