Cala Homes has notified us of their plans to submit a planning application for new housing on the land between the existing Springfield estate and the Queensferry Crossing/M90.

This area of land was zoned by SNP and Labour councillors for new housing back in 2016.

Cala has organised two public drop in information events, both at Echline Primary.

– Friday 24 January, 2-8pm
– Saturday 25 January, 10am-1pm

Please note that no formal application has yet been lodged so there is no current process of objection. However, we would encourage residents to come along to one of these sessions to learn more and ask questions.

As local councillors, we want to see the detailed plans. However, with the South Scotstoun housing development already underway and the detailed plans for Echline expected soon, the Ferry is already being expected to absorb huge amounts of new housing.

We believe there are serious questions around how much more can be accommodated given the existing pressures.
