Foundation Scotland is delighted to have been chosen to host the Local Place Coordinator role, which is the first of its kind in Scotland, moving beyond the core work we have been doing to date.

About this role

East Lammermuir is a rural Community Council area within the Dunbar and East Linton Ward of East Lothian and includes the villages of Innerwick, Oldhamstocks, Spott and Stenton. East Lammermuir looks set to host numerous renewable energy projects over the next 10 years. Multiple energy developers are active in the area and the need for effective coordination between the local community, developers, transmission owners, and East Lothian Council has become critical.

This new role will facilitate collaboration between developers, transmission owners, East Lothian Council, and the East Lammermuir communities. The primary aim of the role is to balance these multiple perspectives, in particular ensuring that community views are appropriately considered at all stages of the development process for energy-related infrastructure proposed or in operation in the area, from the very earliest stages of any planned development proposal.

The role is being funded by SPEN and SSE Renewables for a three-year period in the first instance and is expected to provide learning relevant to other locations where multiple renewables projects and technologies are planned.
