About Balerno - Planning Applications & Local Development

Balerno is a picturesque village located 8 miles south-west of Edinburgh city centre, nestled alongside Currie and Juniper Green. Once part of Midlothian, it now falls under the City of Edinburgh Council's jurisdiction. Historically known for its water-powered mills during the 18th and 19th centuries, Balerno has transitioned into a thriving residential suburb, making it a relevant area for planning applications focused on housing and community development.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Balerno area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.

In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (July 2026). This makes Balerno a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
