Welcome

Welcome to this public consultation process relating to proposals by Straiton Park Ltd for land in its ownership adjacent to the Straiton Park and Ride, Midlothian. The Proposal of Application Notice boundary is shown in red on the plan to the right, however the proposed development does not cover the whole of this area.

The site has been allocated for development for a number of years, and benefits from an allocation in the Midlothian Local Development Plan for a mix of uses including commercial and residential development.

It is for this reason, that Straiton Park Ltd are progressing with plans to deliver a mixed use scheme on their site. This consultation will provides details of the proposals to secure Planning Permission in Principle for such a scheme.
