AIMS
1. To provide an introduction to built heritage planning practice;
2. To carry out an conservation area appraisal using some of the analytical criteria promoted by national agencies;
3. To experiment with various techniques of survey, analysis and policy formulation;
4. To prepare students for the work placement.
CONTEXT
Angus Local Plane adopted review (2007) Section 3.23 states
“There are 19 conservation areas in Angus of which 9 were formally considered to be outstanding. Most of the Angus conservation areas were designated in the 1970s and as part of ongoing work by Angus Council they are being reviewed. It is proposed to prepare character statements for all conservation areas to inform development control decisions and enhancement proposals. These will identify particular characteristics and local qualities that should be protected.”
The conservation areas vary in size, with Montrose Town Centre the largest at 59.46 hectares and Arbroath’s West Port the smallest at 1.42 hectares. Each conservation area differs not only in size but also in style and special characteristics.
To date, only one appraisal has been before Council. Two others, one for Arbroath Abbey to Harbour conservation area and the other for Brechin, were undertaken as part of the stage one bids for THI schemes, but were never properly developed or formally adopted by the Council. In 2009, a number of postgraduate students studying urban conservation at this University undertook a character appraisal of the Montrose town centre conservation area. Despite containing some quite wide ranging proposals including ideas for boundary changes, the report was well received by the Council and the conservation officer in particular, and is being used to form the basis of the appraisal document which will shortly go before the Infrastructure Services Committee.
On the basis of the Montrose study, Angus Council have asked if the following year of conservation students would consider making an appraisal of the three Arbroath conservation areas, the Arbroath Abbey to Harbour, the Arbroath West Port and the Keptie Ponds conservation areas. There are advantages in doing this: it will raise the profile of the conservation programmes and provide students with a realistic objective for their practical project. A THI ran in the Abbey to Harbour Conservation Area between 2002 and 2008. Whilst it had a marked regenerative effect on the area there is scope for further action, and the Council are determined that the momentum of the THI is maintained over the foreseeable future.
METHOD
Working as one group, the class will prepare full conservation area appraisals for the three designated areas in Arbroath. Each group member should make an equal contribution and, within the contents pages, each section should be ascribed to a student. There is no word limit, but note that repetition between sections must be avoided and therefore the overall structure of the report will require careful planning and editing. Contact with course tutors will be maintained throughout the duration of the study by means of joint site visits, group seminars and individual tutorial sessions.
The appraisal should be comprehensive, including all of the elements recommended by national agencies and any other information and analysis which the group deems necessary for the formulation of effective management strategies for the area in the future.
The appraisal should be of a standard acceptable to Angus Council as the basis for developing an active management strategy for the three Arbroath conservation areas. In particular, the report should demonstrate an understanding of what can be delivered in the short, medium and long term.
