MOTION BY COUNCILLORS N KHOGALI AND A FORBES Re-Assessment of Conservation Areas in Perth and Kinross To move that the Environment, Infrastructure and Economic Development Committee be asked to consider the issue of Conservation Areas and commit the Council to an ongoing re-assessment of these areas in Perth and Kinross, with a recommendation from this Committee that there be a minimum of 4 reviews per year and using an approach that both protects areas of historical and architectural significance, but is also fit for purpose in line with Council commitments regarding Climate Change and Sustainability. To acknowledge that local authorities are unable to amend regulations regarding what development is permitted within a Conservation Area without planning permission and ask the Convener of this Committee to write to the relevant Scottish Government minister requesting that a review into permitted development rights within Conservation Areas is undertaken with the utmost urgency.
