The East Lammermuir Local Place Plan was shaped by the people who live and work here and sets out what our community wants to see happen over the coming years.
It was validated by East Lothian Council in July 2024 and will help inform the next East Lothian Local Development Plan.
Work is now underway to turn its four community Ambitions into practical action.
The Plan and its delivery updates are for everyone – including residents, community groups and partner organisations. You can read the full documents or use the sections below to find the information most relevant to you.

How the four ambitions work together
The four ambitions are closely connected. Work on one ambition can create opportunities—or affect delivery—across the others.
- Improvements to paths can also create and connect wildlife habitats.
- Routes across the A1 could support active travel, access to transport and connections needed for future energy infrastructure.
- Mobility hubs could connect community transport with walking and cycling.
- Work by energy developers could help provide new paths, habitat improvements or shared infrastructure.
- Coordinated household energy improvements could reduce costs and prevent residents receiving repeated or conflicting information.
The Community Ambitions Synergies Report identifies where projects, funding, mapping, engagement and specialist support could be coordinated across the four ambitions. It highlights particularly strong connections around the A1 corridor and between active travel and biodiversity.

Get involved
Anyone locally who is interested can help deliver the four ambitions. You could join an Ambition Steering Group, initiate or contribute to a project, attend a meeting or workshop, share local knowledge or take part in practical activity.
Engagement will be linked to real projects and decisions as they develop, building on the consultation already completed for the Local Place Plan.
Email Sue Guy LPP@elcc.scot to ask a question, share local knowledge or find out how to get involved.
