GIFFORD VILLAGE DESIGN STATEMENT
 

"At its November meeting Gifford Community Council formally decided to accept for consultation the Gifford Village Design Statement prepared by HADAS with additional support from a group of Gifford residents.

The draft document seeks to combine the requirements of a Conservation Area Appraisal with the views of the village community in describing the special character of Gifford and aiming to provide guidance for those making decisions regarding the future of the village including East Lothian Council as planning authority, Historic Scotland, developers and their designers.

The Community Council decided to support the next stage of widespread community consultation followed by a public meeting in early Spring to round off the discussion and publish the final Statement which would be as widely distributed as possible to the community, interested parties and decision makers throughout the country.

 
East Lothian Council funded the preparation of the Design Statement through its Civic Pride Fund and HADAS members Ian Arnott and Andrew Gilmour, both Gifford residents, wrote the report with invaluable input from HADAS Committee members Brian Young and Karen Stevenson"

The 2011 Village Design Statement is available  here (10.5 mb)

Have your say at the public meeting on Wednesday 22nd February at 7.30pm in the Main Hall at Gifford Village Hall.

Copies of the Statement can be found at the following locations:  Tweeddale Hotel (public bar); Goblin Ha' Hotel (both bars); Gifford Cafe; Anna Mather Hairdressers; Haddington Library.

Comments forms can be found at the back of each booklet and these can be returned to the comments box in the cafe or by post to:  GCC Secretary, 4 Longnewton, Gifford.  Or email your comments to giffordcommunity@hotmail.co.uk
