Anne,
I think this would be worth copying around.

Dear
Brian,
I'm
writing to let you know that Southside Community Council is
currently developing a Local Place Plan for Southside, and to
invite you to get involved and help spread the word.
As
you know, a Local Place Plan is a community-led planning
document under the Planning (Scotland) Act 2019. Once
registered with the City of Edinburgh Council, it must be
taken into account when planning decisions are made in our
area. We are aiming to submit ours by the end
of September 2026, to feed into the
development of City Plan 2040.
We
would welcome views from anyone connected to Southside,
including residents of neighbouring areas. There are two ways
to contribute: a short online survey (around
10 minutes) covering housing, streets and spaces, and
community amenities and an interactive map where
people can pin comments to specific locations in the
neighbourhood.
We
also have one remaining community workshop, on Saturday
9 May, 1–3pm at Southside Community Centre. Anyone
can register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1984515693862?aff=oddtdtcreator
If
you are able to share these links with your own networks and
through your channels, we would be very grateful.
Later
this summer we will share a draft of the plan with Marchmont
and Sciennes Community Council as part of the statutory
consultation process. If you would like to discuss any aspects
of the plan before then, please get in touch at l...@sccedinburgh.org.uk.
Best
wishes,
