Scotlandwell Conservation Area
Why have we designated a conservation area in
Scotlandwell?
All Councils are required to identify areas of special
architectural or historic interest and designate these as
conservation areas.
The Kinross Area Local Plan 2004 contains the proposal to
designate a conservation area in Scotlandwell.
We have produced a conservation area appraisal which identifies
what makes the proposed area of Scotlandwell 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 designation process involve?
We consulted the public, local community groups and national
bodies on the draft Scotlandwell Conservation Area Appraisal and
the proposed boundary between 16 February and 23 March 2009,
including a public exhibition from 3-5 March.
We collected and considered the responses and amended the draft
conservation area appraisal and the draft boundary to take account
of these views. A summary of the consultation responses and
how these have been taken into account is available to
download.
The final draft appraisal and boundary were approved at the
Council's Enterprise and Infrastructure committee on 3 June
2009. The conservation area is formally designated by
advertisement in the local and national press and notification to
Scottish Ministers on 12 June 2009, 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 at Kinloch Leven Community Library,
Muirs, Kinross, in Pullar House, Perth and can be downloaded
from this web page.
