Polo-Fields-in-the-Morning

Colinton Amenity Association has put together a develoment plan for Dreghorn Polofields.

Our aim is to support the ambitions of the City of Edinburgh to remain one of Europe’s most attractive places to live, work and play. We see this as a way in which the City could take advantage from this unique location for open space recreation and make the most of every opportunity to enhance its appeal and develop its potential.

To this end, CAA and our partner organisations seek to:Mouse-over to see close-up view

  • promote the green corridor from Portobello to the Bonaly Country Park, the  Porty to Pentland Path  or PPP, to equal the Water of Leith Walkway in its benefits to residents and wildlife and
  • develop the Polofield Project or PP as a significant publicly accessible  greenspace on that route.

Policy Context

Through the provision of accessible quality greenspace, the PPP+Polofield Project  would support Strategic aims in terms of the

  • National and Local Economy,
  • Sustainable Communities,
  • Public Health
  • Environmental Protection and Bio-diversity.

The project would be entirely compliant with both the recently published Scottish Planning Policy and with the recently adopted Local Plan.
