Planning committee

Decided by Edinburgh Development Management Sub-Committee on 2 Sept 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the boardwalk preserves the conservation area and complies with planning policies, subject to conditions.
  • Two objections raised concerns about the conservation area, dunes, the gas pipeline, access, equality, walkers and the unauthorised construction.

Site constraints 7

Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Cramond conservation area
Demolition needs planning permission and permitted development is restricted.
The council must give weight to preserving or enhancing the area's character and appearance. Not every council has published its boundaries as open data.
Special protection area 26 m away: Firth of Forth
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Scheduled monument 60 m away: Cramond, Roman fort & civil settlement
Its setting is a consideration for work nearby.
Nationally important archaeology protected by the Secretary of State. Work that affects the monument or its setting is rarely permitted.
Historic Environment Scotland ↗
SSSI 26 m away: Firth of Forth
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Also on the record
6 listed buildings within 150 m; Registered park or garden 184 m away: Dalmeny.

Checked on 25 September 2026. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
