Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Scotland) Order 1992 (“the 1992 Order”).
Article 2(2) amends the definition of “historic garden or designed landscape” so that this now means a garden or landscape identified in “An Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland – List of Sites 2007”. Copies of that publication may be obtained from Historic Scotland, Longmore House, Salisbury Place, Edinburgh, EH9 1SH.
Article 2(3) removes the obligation on a planning authority to consult Scottish Natural Heritage before granting planning permission where development may affect a historic garden or designed landscape.
Article 2(4) and (5) insert new provisions into the 1992 Order to implement the provisions of section 43(1)(aa) and (f) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997, which were inserted by section 16 of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006.
