The proposals involve the redevelopment of a Tesco-owned site located in the heart of Haddington, a historic town with a rich urban context. The development is to include mixed tenure housing, retail outlets, leisure facilities, high quality public realm, and improved pedestrian access and public transport links. Also included are plans to implement the use of renewable energy sources and carry out extensive repair and renovation to the site's architectural heritage.
The focus is on the town's current and future needs. The development will boost the local economy by providing new shops and increasing the vitality of Haddington town centre. It will bring employment opportunities, further housing options and complement the historic layout of the area. Haddington is a key administrative and commercial centre in East Lothian, and the proposals aim to encourage and enhance this role. Initial public consultations have been carried out to consider all factors, ensuring the best possible solution for the community and its surroundings.
