Should there simply be no permitted development in relation to conservation areas or the curtilage of listed buildings?
Yes, ALGAO:Scotland believe that there should be no permitted development rights in conservation areas, or within the curtilage of listed buildings, or identified areas of specific archaeological interest. Q10. Should additional statutory restrictions be placed on householder PDR within World Heritage Sites? Yes, World Heritage sites should be included. Q11. If so, what level of control should be applied (e.g. similar to that for conservation areas or a total restriction)? It would be appropriate to have a total restriction on permitted development rights in World Heritage areas as is proposed for Conservation Areas. Q12. Do you have any comments on the extent of designated areas where restrictions will apply? Areas/sites of archaeological significance, as defined by local authority archaeology services, and Scheduled Ancient Monuments should be included as areas excluded from permitted development rights. There is sufficient evidence from the Historic Scotland sponsored Burgh Surveys
