The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 (c. 9) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated certain enactments relating to special controls in respect of buildings and areas of special architectural or historic interest in Scotland.
The enactments consolidated by the act were repealed by section 3 of, and schedule 1 to, the Planning (Consequential Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1997.
Provisions The act is divided into four parts and three schedules. Part I (sections 1 to 60) makes provision for listed buildings, covering the listing of buildings of special architectural or historic interest (Chapter I), the authorisation of works affecting listed buildings including the requirement for listed building consent (Chapter II), the rights of owners (Chapter III), enforcement (Chapter IV), and the prevention of deterioration and damage (Chapter V). Part II (sections 61 to 72) makes provision for the designation and management of conservation areas, including controls on the demolition of buildings within them. Part III (sections 73 to 80) contains general provisions applicable to Crown land and local planning authorities, and Part IV (sections 81 to 83) contains supplemental provisions including interpretation, regulation-making powers, and the short title.
The act was one of four related acts of consolidation passed on the same day. The enactments consolidated by the act, together with those consolidated by the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 (c. 8) and the Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Act 1997 (c. 10), were repealed by the Planning (Consequential Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1997 (c. 11), which was enacted alongside them and which also made consequential amendments and transitional provisions in connection with the consolidation.
