Midlothian Local Development Plan 2 - Proposed Plan Consultation

Overview

We have produced the Proposed Midlothian Local Development Plan 2 (MLDP2) which follows on from the Evidence Report. This will shape the development and use of land in the area from 2027-2037. In MLDP2 the Council will allocate sites for development, identify places to be protected, and set out the policies that will be used when deciding planning applications.

The Proposed MLDP2 and associated documents are available to view on the Council’s website.

This consultation survey relates to the following documents:

• Proposed MLDP2
• Draft Delivery Programme
• Draft Environmental Report and Non-Technical Summary
• Draft Habitats Regulations Appraisal

The consultation period opens on 30 June 2026 and finishes on 25 September 2026.  During this time, you can let us know what you think of the Proposed MLDP2 and associated documents by completing this survey and making a representation.
