Updated flood-risk assessment filed for Shawfair campus plan

An updated flood risk assessment was added to the planning file for the proposed Shawfair community campus on 17 September. The post-submission form describes it as a further response to flood consultation by SEPA and a council officer, intended to capture points raised in their responses.

The application describes early-years and support-needs provision, primary and secondary schools, alongside shared community facilities including a library, gymnasium and games hall. Its form locates the site on the eastern side of the Shawfair masterplan area, north of Shawfair railway station.

Midlothian Council's planning page listed the application as Awaiting decision when checked on 29 September, after the flood-risk filing. The returned source text does not show what the updated assessment concluded or whether either consultee accepted the response.
