Your views matter
Edinburgh’s draft Local Housing Strategy (LHS) covers all tenures and types of housing and sets out the priorities for delivering housing and related services. It is a statutory requirement that we produce a Local Housing Strategy every five years. With the fastest growing population in Scotland and facing unprecedented challenges, it has never been more important to have a strong housing strategy that reflects the views of those living in the city. We would like to know what you think about the draft Local Housing Strategy.
A draft strategy was published online on 26 February 2025 and is available for comment up to and including 22 April 2025.

An initial on-line consultation survey was held for six weeks asking residents about their views and priorities for housing provision in Edinburgh, closing on 14th June 2024. We received 345 responses. These included in-depth comments across a range of issues. Feedback on the survey is available to read now.
