It highlights the importance of planning in maintaining and enhancing irreplaceable historic places. “The historic environment is a key cultural and economic asset and a source of inspiration that should be seen as integral to creating successful places. Culture-led regeneration can have a profound impact on the well-being of a community in terms of the physical look and feel of a place and can also attract visitors, which in turn can bolster the local economy and sense of pride or ownership.” (Scottish Planning Policy 2014, Paragraph 136) 1.2 The designation of conservation areas is an important mechanism for giving recognition to the value of the historic environment and ensuring that the particular characteristics of an area are respected and enhanced in any future development of the area. Conservation areas were first introduced by the Civic Amenities Act 1967. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997 provides the current legislative framework for designation and defines conservation areas as ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’ (Section 61). All planning authorities are required by this Act to determine which parts of their area merit conservation area status. 1.3 National Planning Policy fully supports the designation, protection and enhancement of conservation areas. SPP indicates that conservation area designations ‘provide the basis for the positive management of an area’ whilst the Scottish Government’s Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP 2011) clarifies that conservation area designations should seek to conserve the ‘character or historic interest of an area created by individual buildings and open spaces and their relationship with one another’. (SHEP 2011, Annex 3, Paragraph 1) 1.4 The Galston conservation area was designated in 1985 and comprises the historic heart of Galston, the largest town within the Irvine Valley and an important service centre for the local area. The conservation area contains a variety of architectural styles and landmark buildings, contributing significantly to the amenity of Galston as a whole. The conservation area is however, exhibiting several signs of decline, with a number of disused and poorly maintained properties considerably detracting from the area. 1.5 Given the importance of Galston, both in terms of the quality of its built heritage and its economic and social role for the Irvine Valley, East Ayrshire Council, in partnership with the local community, is taking forward a regeneration programme for the town to halt the cycle of decline. In recognising the potential for built heritage resources to contribute to this regeneration, East Ayrshire Council considers it important to review and assess the conservation area through a conservation area appraisal. 3 1 1 Galston Conservation Area E 6 N M A S L 3 S A G 5 1 35 B O 1 1 4 W L 31 I N G 9 2 M 9 S 27 7 25 23 1 9 El 5 Sub G R E Galston E 2 3 Sta N 8 2 Bridge L M A S l N 6 o 2 11 P a E t 4 2 Weir S Y A 9 2 R 2 R T U 0 4 2 7 R Factory M S 8 U 1 5 N O M H C O J 1 B 7 0 0 3 PH 37 2 8 9 6 8 4 2 1 21 2 2 8 46.9m to 3 27 6 8 4 1 2 1 LANE TCB CH 2 8 HUR 1 1 9 1 2 7 C 3 19 2 ARRMILL ROAD 2 2 B o 6 1 t 1 C LB 9 R O CHAP S E T L L S 3 8 ANE 0 1 1 S E Car E T 1 9 R R 7 4 E T 2 E Park S Car T 48.5m H b 17 Park T 6 1 5 R a 17 A 7 2 W 2 1 L 3 Church O P 0 1 2 5 C O o f f u 1 i c n 1 e c 1 s i l 1 8 MS 1 9 o t 4 1 Library P 9 O Barr Castle 7 H 14 P Social Club 2 1 S B 0 M 1 7 0 4 3 8 3 3 7 24 8 10 t o 9 5 to Hotel 1 1 2 7 6 14 2 4 6 12 A PH 5 3 1 9 7 12 18 2 4 S M HENRIETTA STREET BREWLAND A 719 50.6m BRIDGE STREET 9 o t 5 3 1 5 1 1 7 1 3 9 1 2 1 5 2 5 2 4 t o 2 1 1 1 3 1 6 3 3 5 3 3 3 2 2 4 o 3 t 3 1 t o o t 1 4 5 3 t o a 5 7 2 6 7 3 Manse Place 1 0 7 Clinic B 2 0 7 1 8 3 3 Bank 1 1 1 1 0 5 7 1 2 9 8 12 9 a t 1 o 2 t o 2 1 3 1 8 Surgery 2 1 9 b 1 3 1 2 1 1 2 2 0 t o 2 2 1 7 5 5 1 2 1 2 2 PH Car Park 9 1 2 6 2 4 5 1 2 2 9 2 2 6 1 NE 9 LA 3 LANDS 2 2 BREW M 8 S 7 2 T 7 E 1 E 3 R 8 3 T Tranquil S 5 E C 52.4m A 14 L L 3 7 A TCB T W REE 3 ST 0 CK TIN 9 BEN 4 8 3 1 1 2 1 7 2 all H P r 1 4 2 7 St Sophia's 5 RC Church 3 1 3 Erskine Hall 6 8 1 to 5 3 8 4 2 0 6a 3 Manse 4 LB 2 6 4 4 5 2 7 7 2 t 6 8 1 ur Co T 8 R ry War 1 A T G a 0 H E m 0 L ri E m 1 IS L P 6 R E 1 Car Barr W P T .9 Memorial B S Park 0 2 59.7m X E 1 1 O 5 2 N R Castle K 1 O 1 N 4 H A 2 5 b O 2 D J 1 Hall 2 4 a 2 1 2 3 A 2 N D R E 7 W D L U U K 1 N 0 E TR D 2 S 4 IE 1 8 P 4 L 6 A S C T 1 A E e 6 T n 7 I n O A N 1 R 1 O A 5 n 1 1 1 r 8 6 D 3 u t 0 o GARDENS B 2 2 5 BARR 1 CASTLE T E 2 E 4 Club R T S 9 R 1 R A Public B 2 Gardens 8 4 1 0a 4 0 4 4 2 4 4 6 Bowling Green 8 Play 1 GA Pavilion Area RD EN ST 5 RE ET 1 1 3 9 1 16 18 Richmond's This map is reproduced from the Ordnance Survey material with permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty`s Stationery Office(C) Crown copyright.

Figure 1: Galston Conservation Area Boundary 4 What Does Conservation Area Status mean? 1.10 In a Conservation Area it is both the buildings and the spaces between them that are of architectural or historical interest. Planning control is directed at maintaining the integrity of the entire area and enhancing its special character. Conservation area status does not mean that new development is unacceptable but care must be taken to ensure that developments will not harm the character and appearance of the area. Under current legislation Conservation Area Designation automatically brings the following works under planning control: • Demolition of buildings • Removal of/or works to trees • Development involving small house extensions • External alterations such as cladding, rendering and painting (See Appendix 3 for full details) 1.11 Through the Development Plan process, local authorities have opportunities to put in place positive policies for the protection and enhancement of conservation areas.

Such a designation would, if unrestricted, permit the applicant to erect unlimited numbers of rides within the site up to a maximum of 25 metres in height utilising the permitted development rights that would be conferred through any consent for an amusement park.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

  • The Ayrshire Hermit
    Newsletter March 2012 F.O.L.K.F.O.L.K. NEWSLETTERNEWSLETTER Vandals strike again A phone call from a member of the public brought the sad news that Loudoun Kirk had once again been the target of vandals. The lady, who first advised us of the problem had been visiting her family grave just before Christmas and noticed pieces of lead at the base of the kirk. We have to carry out all repairs to the kirk according to Historic Scotland's standards and unfortunately we are not allowed to use any of the modern preventative measures to deter metal thieves. All the lead was taken from the kirk during autumn 2010 and the company who carried out the work of renewing the lead fitted the lead in such a way, that it would make it difficult for any would-be thief to remove it all again easily, whilst still working within the bounds of Historic Scotland's legislation. Thankfully this worked and recent attempts were thwarted by this simple but ingenious method. Although in this instance, the lead on one side has been badly damaged, none of it was removed. It can be clearly seen in the photograph how the lead on the lower half of the right side of the roof has been ripped up (with the use of an 18” chisel, found at the scene). Some of the lead tabs holding it on were taken off and sadly the stone cross broken off from the top. Although there is a reasonable amount of damage to the lead and cross, nothing has been taken.
