Local Housing Strategy 2026/27 - 2030/31 Final

Overview

Midlothian Council is developing a new Local Housing Strategy (LHS), which will guide housing policy and investment across the area for the next five years. We want to hear your views to help shape our priorities.

This final consultation asks you to consider your housing priorities for 2026/27 - 2030/31.

What happens next

Your priorities will be added to the draft Local Housing Strategy before the document is sent for a peer review (undertaken by another local authority and the Scottish Government). The final Local Housing Strategy will be presented to your elected members in early 2026.
