Hatton Village - Edinburgh's Newest Home

Hatton Village is being planned as an entirely new community which will offer much needed homes for Edinburgh with homeworking facilities in a sustainable location in close proximity to a range of first class transport links and employment opportunities.

Inverdunning (Hatton Mains) Ltd are promoting the new village on behalf of landowner WS Crawford.

The Hatton Village site is located on the A71 arterial route west of Edinburgh. To the north lies Ratho, the M8/ M9 motorway network and Edinburgh Airport. To the east lies Heriot-Watt University’s Riccarton Campus, Edinburgh Park, RBS Headquarters, South Gyle Retail/Industrial and the City Centre. To the south lies Dalmahoy Country Club and to the west lies Livingston.

Hatton Village will provide approximately 1,200 new homes (with scope for higher density depending on final design), supported by a village centre with local retail, business, leisure and education/community facilities, set within high quality new public open space and landscaping.

An overview brochure for the project is provided here: Hatton Village Brochure

The project is currently being promoted via City of Edinburgh Council’s City Plan 2030 consultation process. A full representation was made to the ‘Choices for City Plan 2030’ Main Issues Report in March 2020 and further representations were made to the ‘Proposed’ City Plan 2030 consultation process in December 2021.

A series of newsletters are also being prepared with circulation to local community councils and local councillors and available to view below.

Newsletter No.1 (Transport)

Newsletter No.2 (Affordable Homes & Local Benefits)

Newsletter No.3 (West Edinburgh)

A letter was circulated to local community councils and councillors which summarises key points.

Opportunity

Hatton Village provides an opportunity for a ground-breaking new community within touching distance of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is a world-class status capital city with a wealth of social and economic opportunities, providing a stunning cityscape set within a wider landscape rich in heritage and history.

However, Edinburgh’s success has resulted in conflict between growth and conservation, the future and the past. There is significant forecast population growth over the next twenty years and current housing expansion involving extension of existing suburbs is creating conflict with existing communities.

Hatton Village offers the potential for a new community to make a significant contribution towards Edinburgh's housing growth requirements.

Existing and emerging planning policy supports new housing growth in Edinburgh and, as a new settlement, Hatton Village would be able to create its own identity in terms of place and character.

Inverdunning (Hatton Mains) Ltd wish to engage with the public, share this vision and bring forward this sustainable new community from planning through to fruition.

Location

Hatton Village is located at the junction of Dalmahoy Road and the A71, a major arterial route leading into Edinburgh.

The new village would be located between Ratho and the Dalmahoy Estate and be in close proximity to a number of major employment centres including Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh Park, Edinburgh Airport, International Business Gateway, South Gyle Industrial Estate, Sighthill Industrial Estate and Newbridge Industrial Estate.

The new community will be able to access these employment centres plus wider services and amenities in Edinburgh via a range of public transport options including existing and improved bus links along the A71, Hermiston Park & Ride, rail/tram stations at Currie and Edinburgh Park plus cycle paths along the Union Canal.
