Consultation on Crieff conservation area proposals
Last updated | 06/11/2008
Members of the public are being asked for their views on proposals for a new conservation area in Crieff.
People will be able to view the plans at a special exhibition to be held at Crieff Library.
All councils are required to identify areas of special architectural or historic interest and designate these as conservation areas. Perth & Kinross Council has produced a draft conservation area appraisal which identifies what makes the proposed area of Crieff special and worthy of protection.
Conservation areas have extra planning controls in place to preserve and enhance their important architecture and historic character. This ensures their character is protected for the future, but also has benefits for residents’ quality of life, economic development, property values and tourism.
Similarly, all trees within a conservation area are protected from pruning, lopping or felling to safeguard the character of both the area and the environment.
The Council will consult the public, local community groups and national bodies on the draft Crieff Conservation Area Appraisal between 6 November and 5 December 2008. A public exhibition will be held at at Crieff Library from 18-21 November when members of the Conservation and Regeneration team will be avilable to answer questions and collect comments.
