Planning Update
On 7th November East Lothian Council’s Planning Committee voted by a majority to accept the recommendation of their Planning Officer – the application has been refused planning permission.
NBHTA thanks everyone who became engaged in the debate and were sufficiently motivated to review the available evidence and supporting documentation in forming their own view – and then expressing that view in a considered and constructive way.
NBHTA remains focused on supporting appropriate, economically viable developments to secure an active, working harbour for the community and is delighted to work with any party that helps achieve this aim.
