Object to Development at Liberton Tower Mains Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/object-to-development-at-liberton-tower-mains.html Online petition signatures en-us Wed, 8 Apr 2026 11:14 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mrs Anonymous [Signature #654] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/21525475?utm_medium=rss This area of the Braids, so close to the city, has seemed rural till now. Glencairn will spoil it, and do nothing for the housing shortage. The original application followed a pattern: apply for many houses in order to get permission for a slight reduction, and if these are built, more will follow.

Friends from abroad envy the excellent planning that has kept the city uniquely green. Please make good planning decisions so that this area is kept as it is. The use of the nearby reservoir for housing makes sense. This application does not.

Once you permit 10 houses to be built it will then be 40 or more.
There substantial housing development going on at the old water works at Alnwickhill Gardens is changing the feel of the area before it is even finished.
There are traffic issues and delays accessing Liberton Brae/ Drive/Gardens and these will just be exacerbated by this new development. There will be an accident here at some point! The two nearest medical practices are not adding further patients to their lists and additional urban development will not help, or indeed, where will these new residents access such facilities?
Along with many other residents, I enjoy and highly value this open area and do not want to see it being eroded. We need a lung in this area and not more commercialism or housing with its associated increase of traffic congestion. This would certainly be against my wishes and those of my neighbours.
I hope that this application does not go ahead and thereby threaten the greenbelt status of this area.

The offer of ground which is too steep to use is ridiculous.

The entrance into this site is already dangerous, with no option for it to be widened.

The design of the houses is not in keeping with the area.

Green belted land should not be used to increase this builder's profits!

Also have Historic Scotland been consulted about the proximity to the Liberton Tower Listed Building area? Liberton is reaching saturation with present on-going new developments requiring medical and education facilities which are already overstretched. The Liberton traffic situation will be worsened with extra vehicles entering and exiting this proposed site so close to very busy traffic lights.

This is NOT an exceptional circumstance - it is a profit-seeking venture by a company perfectly able to find other sites in the city to build on. Protected greenbelt and other areas are protected for the benefit and health of all Edinburgh's citizens - not for private firms to increase their own revenue.

Further pressure on local services and additional (and potentially dangerous) congestion on the roads is unacceptable. The loss of amenity and detriment to the setting of Listed structures is also a major consideration.

We cannot allow Edinburgh's unique heritage to be further undermined by commercial considerations. The city's population may be growing, but this is a problem that should be tackled in a way that allows the city's character to remain rather than be destroyed for future generations.

While I was unaware of the earlier planning application (15/04790/FUL) for this site which was subsequently withdrawn in March 2016 I would like to record my objection to the new planning application (16/02762/FUL) proposed by Glencairn Properties on 2nd June 2016. The area is within the Green Belt is essential to maintain the open, semi-rural aspect of the suburbs for quality of life, the local ecology and cityscape presently enjoyed by the residents of Edinburgh. The Examiners Report of the 2ndLocal Development Plan published by Edinburgh City Council on 30th June 2016 further validates my objection.

The proposed development is at the same time close to a Listed building and would impact on the general environment and ambiance surrounding the building.
