Leading affordable housing specialists Cullross Ltd has announced a second community consultation for a proposed residential development on land east of Glennie Road, Newcraighall, Musselburgh.

A proposal of application notice was submitted to Edinburgh City Council in December, signifying the formal notice of intent to submit a planning application following a minimum 12-week period of consultation.

The team will hold their second community consultation as part of the statutory consultation process on Wednesday, 8 February 2023, between 4–8 pm at Craigmillar Now, 58 Newcraighall Rd, Edinburgh, EH15 3HS. 

Event 1 was held on Wednesday, 11 January, with over 50 members of the community attending and commenting online. Feedback from this event has informed design changes with new exhibition boards available to view at event 2.
