Planning permission for conservation areas changes
Anyone living in a conservation area in Perth and Kinross is being
advised that, from Monday 6th February 2012, new national rules
have come into force that mean most types of alterations and
extensions to properties in these areas will need planning
permission.
The new regulations cover all extensions, the installation of
replacement windows and doors, satellite dishes, rooflights, solar
panels, and many other types of work.
Perth and Kinross has 35 conservation areas. These are in:
Abernethy, Aberfeldy, Baledgarno, Birnam, Blair Atholl,
Blairgowrie, Cleish, Comrie, Coupar Angus, Crieff, Dunkeld,
Dunning, Errol, Forgandenny, Fortingall, Fowlis Wester, Grandtully
& Strathtay, Inchture, Kenmore, Kinnesswood, Kinross,
Kinrossie, Knapp, Longforgan, Meikleour, Moulin, Muthill, Perth
Central, Perth Kinnoull, Pitcairngreen, Pitlochry, Rait,
Scotlandwell, Spittalfield and Wester Balgedie.
If you are considering making any changes to your property, and
think you may be in a conservation area, please contact Perth &
Kinross Council's Development Management team on 01738 475300 or
