Kinnoull Conservation Area
Why has a Conservation Area Appraisal been produced for
Kinnoull?
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 Kinnoull Conservation Area was first designated in 1987.
Local development pressures and community interest in the
conservation area made Kinnoull a high priority for a review.
We have produced a draft conservation area appraisal which
updates the original 1987 appraisal.
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 Kinnoull Conservation Area Appraisal and the
proposed boundary during October and November 2009, including a
public exhibition in Kinnoull Parish Church from 20-22 October.
We collected and considered the responses and amended the draft
conservation area appraisal and boundary 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 31 March 2010. The conservation
area is formally designated by advertisement in the local and
national press and notification to Scottish Ministers on 16 April
2010, to accord with the requirements of the Planning (Listed
Building and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.
The finalised conservation area appraisal including the amended
boundary can be viewed in Pullar House, 35 Kinnoull Street, Perth
PH1 5GD and can be downloaded from this web page.
