Errol Conservation Area
Why has a Conservation Area Appraisal been produced for
Errol?
All Councils are required to formulate and publish, from time to
time, proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts
of their district which are conservation areas.
The Errol Conservation Area was first designated in 2004. The
recent Placecheck process, development pressures and local interest
made Errol a high priority for a review of its conservation
area.
We have produced a new conservation area appraisal which
updates the original 2004 appraisal. It identifies what makes the
conservation area special and worthy of protection.
What is Conservation Area Appraisal?
A Conservation Area Appraisal is a management tool which helps
to identify the special character and changing needs of an area. It
serves as supplementary planning guidance to the development plan
and assists development management.
If a conservation area's special character has been clearly defined
and published in an appraisal then this definition can be used to
guide the form and design of new development and will assist those
proposing to invest in the area.
What did the re-appraisal process involve?
We consulted the public, local community groups and national
bodies on the draft Errol Conservation Area Appraisal and the
boundary during June 2009, including a public exhibition in the
Errol Community Centre from 16-18 June.
We collected and considered the responses and amended the draft
conservation area appraisal to take account of these views, where
they could be given sufficient weight. A summary of the
consultation responses and how these have been taken into account
is available to download.
The final draft appraisal, boundary and proposed Article 4
Direction were approved at the Council's Enterprise and
Infrastructure Committee on 26 August 2009.
The finalised conservation area appraisal can be viewed in
Pullar House, Perth and can be downloaded from this web page.
