Edinburgh Council has invited residents to participate in a consultation regarding the regeneration of Seafield, a key site earmarked for development under the Edinburgh City Plan 2030. The council aims to ensure the regeneration aligns with the needs and desires of the local community.

Plans for the coastal site include the development of up to 2,700 new homes, with 35% designated as affordable housing to address the city's housing emergency. The proposals also feature a new promenade, a GP surgery, and opportunities for retail and workplace spaces. A heat network will be implemented to reduce energy bills and support the city's net-zero targets.


The consultation, which closes on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, builds upon two previous stages of engagement. Residents can participate by attending drop-in sessions or completing an online survey via the Consultation Hub.

Planning Convener James Dalgleish said: "Our draft plan to transform Seafield into a new environmentally friendly neighbourhood will take us one step further to tackling our housing emergency and reaching net zero by 2030. This is a chance for residents to shape the future of the area – whether it's about improving transport links, preserving green spaces or introducing new community facilities and we're eager to hear everyone's ideas for a Seafield that serves the whole community. I'd encourage everyone to share their views with us by filling in our online survey or coming along to one of our consultation drop-in events."
