About Edinburgh planning applications

City of Edinburgh Council publishes planning applications for all development work across Scotland's capital city, covering the Old Town, New Town, Leith, Morningside, Portobello and the wider Edinburgh area. LeadLinka aggregates these applications regularly and makes them searchable in one place — so contractors, tradespeople, and developers can find upcoming work before it reaches any tender platform. Edinburgh generates substantial commercial, hospitality, office, student accommodation and healthcare construction. The city's ongoing regeneration schemes in Leith and Granton also drive significant infrastructure projects. Use the trade loadouts to filter for your specific discipline.
