Blindwells New Settlement

East Lothian Council (ELC) has been developing proposals for substantial housing growth, largely located in a new settlement at Blindwells. Our job? Multidisciplinary services, some of which have been under contract to key landowners Taylor Wimpey and Hargreaves.

We initially supported the Council through a transport appraisal carried out in accordance with Transport Scotland¡¯s (TS) Development Planning and Management Transport Appraisal Guidance (DPMTAG) alongside an infrastructure feasibility study covering road and rail options.

These projects led to Blindwells Phase 1 being allocated in the land development plan (LDP) with a proposed future safeguarding identified for Phase 2. This initial work, fully signed off by TS as part of the LDP examination, will inform the creation of a strategic transport plan. Going forward? More infrastructure planning and design work¡ªtogether with site remediation proposals¡ªwill ensure further housing allocations can be confirmed.
