Local Landscape Area Review

Overview

We are working with Land Use Consultants (LUC) to carry out a review of our Local Landscape Areas (LLAs). There are 11 areas of landscape that are important in the Perth and Kinross area and can be found in the Landscape Supplementary Guidance (please note that our map PDFs are not fully accessible at the moment, investigative work is ongoing to resolve this issue as soon as possible).

They inform planning applications where we ask developers to explain how proposals may impact the qualities of these areas. 

Why your views matter

The original Local Landscape Areas were identified in 2014. Given changes in national policy and guidance since 2014 and changes to landscapes from development, it is important to review and update the current set of LLAs to ensure they remain fit for purpose and continue to recognise the special qualities of such landscapes.

We welcome contributions from all communities, groups and stakeholders with an interest in their landscapes. These will help us to review the boundaries and special qualities of these landscapes.

The revised LLAs will form part of the next Local Development Plan.
