Dear Ms Grant

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002 - PROVISION OF INFORMATION

Thank you for your request for information received on 5 November 2008 and
I apologise for the delay in responding.

The information you seek would normally be exempt under the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002 because it falls under the terms of the
Environmental (Scotland) Information Regulations. However, I am happy to
provide the information you seek as ascertaining the answer would involve
going to the application forms and reports for all of the Caltongate
planning applications and this would be complex and time consuming.

You specifically ask for all information on affordable housing planned to
be built on land owned (or to be owned) by Mountgrange (Caltongate) Plc.
The details of the affordable housing in terms of plans and layouts are
available to view in the plans which can be viewed via the Planning and
Building Standards Portal. The details of these are below:

8 new flats will be built on land to the rear of East Market
Street/Cranston Street; this is currently land owned by the City of
Edinburgh Council. The plans are available under application reference
07/01288/FUL.

36 flats will be built over two sites on Calton Road; this is land owned
by Mountgrange at present. The plans are available to view under
application reference 07/00560/FUL.

I trust this information is useful to you. If you need any clarification
or further assistance please phone me on 0131-529 3442 or e-mail:
[email address].

Yours sincerely

Barbara Cummins

Group Leader

Note:

Dear Ms Grant

I do not understand your question. I do not see any reference to
Mountgrange not owning land at Calton Road. There is s statement that
we will not be selling nor do we intend to sell land at Calton Road to
Mountgrange. This is true. The land that Mountgrange own on Calton
Road did not belong to the City of Edinburgh Council.

I hope this clarifies matters.
