It added: “The wider Seafield area, of which this forms part, is allocated for residential development in City of Edinburgh Council's Choices for City Plan 2030. This is the first stage in the development of the local development plan, which guides future development in the city.”
Manse (Seafield) noted the Scottish Government had suspended in-person public consultation events because of Covid-19.
