GENERAL
LIKES
|
|
Approved
in principle subject to: 1) access to Marina, 2) Parking, 3)
Security
|
|
Like
the idea overall but the devils in the detail - design of houses,
access.
|
|
An
exciting opportunity to develop a run down naval base and provide a
new future for the land.
|
|
Very
impressed if similar to Inverkip Marina.
|
|
Better
than last time - flats only 4 high
|
|
At
last funding for a great idea for the use and fun for everybody who
owns boats and likes to look at them.
|
|
Yes,
but will it even happen - existing buildings becoming uninhabitable
before replacements ready.
|
|
Overall
the plan looks good - glad that the environmental issues are being
carefully considered.
|
|
Looks
very good. Only concern
is road access and parking.
|
|
Glad
to see something being done here at last.
This could be Queensferry's new 'centre'. (It was first predicated here!).
|
|
Currently
like 'shops' Chandllry, Queensferry Metalworks etc.
|
|
Generally
good for improving Queensferry.
|
|
A
very exciting display. Encouraging
to think of it in future. Access
is crunch factor.
|
|
This
could transform the Marina for the better.
|
|
Much
better than Leith or Granton plans.
|
|
Looks
good, if it ever happens. Hope
it does.
|
|
Get
on with it!!
|
|
New
slip. Overall look of
project.
|
|
Well
balanced proposal. Looks
good.
|
|
Looks
positive and imaginative. Timing
to preserve facilities (especially winter boat storage) during
transition is essential.
|
|
Much
better than last plans, more in keeping with the area - remember to
look after the small businesses.
|
|
Exciting
opportunity for Port Edgar to become a valuable and inclusive
part of SQ community.
|
|
As
a starting point it looks excellent.
(I just need to live long enough to see it!)
|
|
It
would be another incentive for visitors to come to SQ, particularly
if the retain units were utilised.
|
|
Very
good to see high quality presentation and consultation at this
stage.
|
|
Like
improvements.
|
|
Improvement
to the area is well overdue. Proposed
plans look interesting, however, in-depth housing plans should be
available now! Overall,
I feel it will bring prosperity to S. Queensferry.
|
|
Looks
good generally.
|
|
Impressive
development. Public
space/restaurant could be an attraction.
|
|
Looks
very impressive.
|
|
Getting
better environmentally but far from perfect.
|
|
It
looks a good plan. Make
sure all local residents and businesses are consulted every step.
|
|
Pleasing
appearance.
|
|
Environmental
impact - like idea of turf roofs on buildings. May help conservation of wild flowers or orchids
(especially in main car park).
|
|
An
improvement on what's here at present.
Public space.
|
|
The
design looks fine and a big improvement on the present situation -
car parking might be a problem.
|
|
Long
overdue update of Marina required.
Plans look good for the Marina - not sure about the houses!
|
|
Okay
in principle but depends on standard and number of proposed housing.
|
|
Imaginative
scheme - hope it goes ahead.
|
|
Good
enhancement for whole area and town.
Will bring some like to area outside 9-5 times.
|
|
Good,
lets get Port Edgar sorted. Do
not force it's history - arrangements must be kept.
|
|
Impressed
with initial plans.
|
|
Good
business venture - good for S. Queensferry and employment potential.
|
|
Scout
Group are pleased our 'new' building is retained. Concern about possible loss of the 'back green' ground
space.
|
|
Much
needed upgrade of Marina will benefit the residents of South
Queensferry, shops & small businesses.
Hopefully the Council will try and create opportunities
within the Marina to improve the recreation facilities that are
sadly lacking in South Queensferry.
I agree with the redevelopment but the Council must ensure
the correct infrastructure is in place to make it the success it
deserves. Good luck.
|
|
GENERAL
LIKES CONTINUED
The
development looks very good and is long overdue. A decent slipway, charging facilities and sailing club
building. I really like
the look of Marina building sailing school.
|
|
A
clean up of this whole area will enhance Queensferry.
|
|
Café's
and restaurants in public area.
|
|
Consideration
of environmental issues.
|
|
I
like it all.
|
|
Could
be a European class Marina which will attract foreign yachts
(visitor berth?)
|
|
Like
proposed café area to sit out on summer evenings while family is
sailing.
|
|
Best
proposals so far. Balance between housing & Marina has improved.
|
|
Would
love to be able to sit at a good café whilst waiting for the
family!
|
|
Well
thought out & attractive plan (amenities & environment).
|
|
I'm
glad that you're cleaning up the mud.
|
|
Development
of the Marina & facilities.
|
|
Marina
design very good.
|
|
At
long last.
|
|
I
like the plans for the sailing school and getting rid of the mud so
I won't lose any more shoes.
|
|
General
plan looks ok compared to last proposal.
Should encourage more tourists.
|
|
Attractive
overall layout - but only is sailing facilities maintained - quality
& quantity.
|
|
Should
the development proposal fail, the Marina is likely to close anyway
& is then open to larger less desirable housing proposals.
*Very much in favour of developments.
|
|
Overall
idea good, provided sailing activities take precedence but
how tall will block of flats be?
Granton is a horror.
|
|
Significant
development of under utilised site long overdue. Housing offering affordable units to local population
will be improvement.
|
|
Planning
gain should be got to install pavement along single-track road to
Hopetoun House - to go further to increase amenity for new local
residents.
|
|
Great
to see something being done to enhance the Marina - need to be care
the "needs" of the developer to make money doesn't
dominate the objective of improving the Marina.
|
|
Costs
must not drive away the middle-income owner.
|
|
Don't
doubt the site needs developed so some plans look good.
|
|
Something
has to be done with current site.
|
|
Very
good. Just what we
need. Will revitalise
the area. But more
thought required about winter storage of boats.
|
|
Principle
of public space and shops, cafes etc. - provided this is accessible
- free parking - at least for berth holders.
|
|
Impressed
- get going.
|
|
Seems
to provide a decent balance between housing/business in the area.
|
|
Port
Edgar has got a lot of potential - the plans are impressive.
|
|
Worth
waiting on.
|
|
Like
general idea.
|
|
Green
space & public access part of plan is good, this would have to
be protected. Concern
the house developer would want to encroach.
|
|
The
Scouts need to be shown inclusively in the plans. Already created new facility with hundreds
of users every week.
|
GENERAL
|
|
CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS
|
|
No
mention of Scouts either with existing new facilities
or as marina/site users.
|
|
Will
the marina be able to bring in enough income to be self
supporting.
|
|
Make
housing developer stick to existing plans & height!
|
|
Not
wind power - kill birds.
|
|
Transition
management is essential, especially for boat storage in
winter.
|
|
Reduce
number of housing units to reduce impact on existing roads
etc.
|
|
Has
there been "cross border" consideration/discussions
with West Lothian Council.
Opportunity exists to improve access to Hopetoun House
- beneficial to both.
|
|
Can
access be linked in with Scottish Executive. Lans for 3rd bridge - large suitable area available.
|
|
Would
like to see Boardway right round Harbour area. Infill to Inners Hotel Road to make success.
|
|
Need
to have full marina facilities, not the bare minimum.
|
|
Is
marina business to be separate from total business park and
sailing school costs.
|
|
Not
enough housing therefore not enough money for a viable marina.
|
|
We
pay City of Edinburgh Council Tax so why can't other City of
Edinburgh land be sold to purely fund the marina?
(It ??? Of having your cake and eating it otherwise).
|
|
Make
look of place sympathetic to Scottish Architecture not just
like every other (decent) marina.
|
|
Overdue.
Could be more radical. More thought re design.
Opportunity to push design ideas.
|
|
Will
Council invest from extra
Council tax into the Ferry?
|
|
Not
much info on the housing bit.
Suspect that Edinburgh Council are deliberately
keeping quiet on that. Still
do not that Housing is necessary - easy option for Council.
|
|
Woodland
- bear in mind current uses of woodland: dog walking, kids,
BMX-Mountain bike & self built/built courses.
|
|
Anxious
that the design reflects Scottish Architecture rather than
"dignified" Mediterranean look.
|
GENERAL
CHANGES/IMPROVEMENTS
CONTINUED
Marina
could run guest wing/B&B for visitors - visiting yachts.
|
|
Ideal
location for swimming pool rather than so many houses.
Could incorporate diving, canoeing etc. Queensferry
needs it!!
|
|
There
needs to be less residential space and more dingy parks.
|
|
What
safeguards are there for trees/boundaries/security given the
extent of the building = it will look barren.
|
|
I
would like a children play area.
|
|
Council
does not! Do enough for Queensferry.
All taxpayers money goes to the City. Just not enough facilities. Get it changed now! Diabolical.
|
|
Think
you have to reconsider the access route.
150 houses are too many! For the usual reasons!
|
|
Environmental
improvements - renewable energy - eco buildings -
pedestrian/cycle route access.
|
|
Security
- when open to public/housing.
Cost - will marina fees go up?
|
|
If
fees don't go up - it'll be great value to boat owners.
|
|
Swimming
pool in new development.
|
|
Consider
architectural competition - international due to proposed
World Heritage site.
|
|
Has
the energy supply been considered in terms of using renewable
energy ie. Wind, solar, or tidal.
Don't omit this.
|
|
Insufficient
info about housing.
|
|
Unclear
issues - type of residential property / public transport links
/ parking sufficient for residents/yachts/visitors.
|
|
Visit
Largs - look at boat park & car park - is the area large?
|
|
How
will the architects be chosen?
|
|
There
should be more bins so there is less litter.
|
|
I
would like a new swimming pool.
|
|
The
marina makes a profit - why is this not used.
