This constant city-creep, bit by bit, can't continue. We need joined up planning; instead it's left to locals to fight it out with developers. Why does this keep happening across Lothian?

Edinburgh Council should not allow further building on greenbelt land.

The traffic and local services cannot handle further developement in this area.

Appalled to read that more greenbelt land may be swallowed up. The area is already struggling to cope with the traffic and the number of additional residents who are using the limited facilities.

Local services in this area are already stretched beyond their limit, it would be irresponsible to push them further without first improving local infrastructure.

It enough medical services to take the population that is presently there. Impossible to add more

No basis for further erosion of Green Belt.

Although i understand the need for housing we need to preserve what green belt land thats left.

Nowhere near the infrastructure to continue with these developments.

The area needs another GP surgery and nursery before anymore homes are build. Currently you cannot get registered with a GP in the area and the nursery waiting lists are years long. Considering these homes will no doubt be marketed to young families it's morally wrong to sell them to families knowing they won't have access to the services they need.

Ridiculous proposal without improving the infrastructure in the area

I don't think the current infrastructures can cope with more housing. I have a 2 year old son and the waiting list for nursery is 2 years and only à few days à week ! Same goes for doctors dentist etc...

The area just does not have the infrastructure to cope with another development like this.

There is already not enough infrastructure around to accommodate what’s in place currently.

This will be yet another blot on the landscape for this area. Greedy developers and greedy landowners who don't give a damn abt the damage to the environment and wildlife habitats.

Greenbelt land should be protected as there are plenty of brownfield sites available to developers.

There would need to be more infrastructure to support this development that would include new roads, schools and medical practices. Something we know won't be considered only £ in everyone's minds

It would be a real tragedy to lose this land to lego houses with poor infrastructure. It is a beautiful area treasured by locals and wildlife
