Edinburgh Planning Guidance: Gardens and Designed Landscapes - Draft for Consultation

Planning Committee 6 August 2009

1 Purpose of report

1.I To seek Committee authority to consult on a survey and related draft planning guidance on Gardens and Designed Landscapes.

2 Summary

2.1 The principal objective of the study was to identify, within Edinburgh, through desk review, research and field survey, all significant gardens and designed landscapes - including those of local and regional value, as well as previously unrecognised sites of national value, and their significant existing features, in accordance with Governmen t guidance.

3 Main report

3.1 Gardens and designed landscapes contribute in many ways to the value of the historic city centre, suburbs and rural hinterland of Edinburgh. A wide range of types of designed green space - from Princes Street Gardens and other New Town Gardens, through public parks, cemeteries and institutional grounds, to surviving former landed estates - contributes to visual and natural diversity and provides valued recreational assets.

3.2 The Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland published by Historic Scotland identifies gardens and designed landscapes of national importance. The value of a more comprehensive record that includes those of regional and local significance is recognised in Government advice and by conservation groups, historians and the public.

3.3 SPP23 : Planning and the Historic Environment states in para 46 “Scottish Ministers’ policies for Gardens and Designed Landscapes and the considerations to be taken into account are set out in the current Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP).” And in para 47 “Government policy is to protect and preserve non-designated, other historic environment interest, in situ wherever feasible and, as such, they are material considerations in the planning process.” The draft consolidated Scottish Planning Policy is consistent with this. 1 3.4 SHEP para 3.66 states: “Planning authorities should use appropriate conditions to protect and enhance sites on the Inventory. Planning authorities are also encouraged to obtain management plans for gardens and designed landscapes from owners, both to identify conservation needs and direct how change can best be accommodated.”

3.5 Planning Authorities are also encouraged, as best practice, to develop policies within their development plans for the identification and future management of non-Inventory sites in their areas. SHEP para 3.65 states: “The lnventory is intended to identify sites of national importance. There are however many sites across Scotland which do not meet the criteria set for national importance, but nevertheless make an important contribution to the local historic environment and landscape character of the area. Planning authorities are therefore encouraged to develop policies within their development plans for the identification and future management of such non-lnvenfory sites in their areas.”

3.6 In line with best practice, policy will be developed within emerging development plans, and information in the report relating to each site will inform development management considerations to encourage high standards of design and landscape management.

Methodology

3.7 A two-stage approach was adopted by the consultants: Stage 1: A broad search to identify all potential sites of value was carried out through desk based assessment using historic maps and published sources. This produced a list of 312 sites with a range of values that may be significant at local or regional level in terms of the Inventory parameters.

3.8 Stage 2: From the above, 48 sites were prioritised for more detailed reports: those which warranted further information on conservation requirements because of potential changes of use of development pressures.

3.9 Should proposed development affect a site identified at stage 1, an applicant may be requested to provide a historic landscape assessment of the area in line with best practice to allow assessment of how change can best be accommodated.

Consultation

3.10 A ten week consultation period will be scheduled from mid August. Consultees will include Historic Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Garden History Society in Scotland. The survey will be of interest to members of the public in terms of its importance in recognising cultural landscape value.

4 Financial Implications

4.1 There are no financial implications arising from this report.

5 Environmental Impact

5.1 There are no adverse environmental impacts arising from this report. 2 6 Conclusions

6.1 Conservation and management of the natural and historic environment is important in cultural and sustainability terms, and is an integral part of the wider planning function of the council. Consistency with current government advice, an updated evidence base and appropriate policies will enable this to be achieved.

7 Recommendations

7.1 It is recommended that Committee:

approves the attached draft guideline for consultation purposes;

approves the survey for consultation purposes; and

supports the survey of additional sites when resources allow.

Background Stage 2 Detailed Survey of Gardens and Designed Landscapes Papers

ASIFKIPLANCOMIGardens and Designated Landscapes 28 July 2009

3 the country’s heritage are important functions of the planning system. Planning authorities should outline policy criteria to ensure appropriate protection, conservation and management of designed landscapes, both of national importance and also of sites that do not meet the inventory criteria but nevertheless make an important contribution to the local historic environment and landscape character.

Section 15 of the Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) (Scotland) Order 1992 as amended requires planning authorities to consult Historic Scotland in respect of any development that may affect a historic garden or designed landscape identified in the Inventory. On behalf of Scottish Ministers, Historic Scotland’s views on such applications will be a material consideration in the planning authority’s determination of the case.

The Council may require the following information to be submitted in support of a planning application to assess the effect on the site and its setting, to identify conservation needs and direct how change can best be accommodated and significant elements protected and enhanced:

Tree Survey (refer to SPG Trees and Development) Historic Landscape Assessment Landscape Management Plan

Background/Context Gardens and designed landscapes can be defined as grounds that are consciously laid out for artistic effect. They are often the setting of important buildings and, in addition to parkland, woodland, water and formal garden elements, can have significant wild life, archaeological and scientific interest.

The Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland, published by HS and SNH in 1988 with supplementary volumes added in 2006, is intended to identify sites of national importance. At June 2009 there were 386 gardens and designed landscapes identified, of which 19 are in the Edinburgh area. The list is not exhaustive and further sites may be added.

In addition, sites of local importance should be recognised as making an important contribution to local historic environment and landscape character. Reference should be made to the survey carried out in 2009 on behalf of the Council by Peter McGowan Associates identifying sites of regional and local importance.

General Principles An awareness of the original design, historical development, setting and special qualities of a garden or designed landscape is essential to maintain the integrity of the landscape design and avoid inappropriate planting and the loss of valuable features including vistas.

Developers are encouraged to discuss preliminary proposals at an early stage with the planning authority and Garden History Society in Scotland, and in the case of Inventory sites, with Historic Scotland. A landscape historian should be appointed to advise on historic context and site constraints.

2 There will be a presumption against the removal of historic features and trees that are an integral part of the landscape design, unless replacement is required as part of an approved conservation management plan. Significant features justifying designation should be protected or enhanced.

The authentic restoration of sites will be encouraged.

There may be a requirement for a historic landscape management plan to maintain the historical and cultural value of the landscape as a condition of planning consent or as part of a planning agreement.

Detailed Considerations

Setting All historic landscapes should be considered in the context of their setting, and this should be identified as part of site assessment. Land outside the historic landscape may be integral to the design within it and so be part of the essential setting. (This is identified in the Lothians supplementary volume of the Inventory). Development which compromises the relationship of the landscape to its setting should be avoided.

Views and vistas Identify and respect principal approaches to a house and key views within and out from a landscape. Land may have been deliberately altered to present a particular view or panorama, and planting located to contain or frame views and these features should be conserved. Designed views may include those from principal rooms as well as from locations such as terraces and footpaths within the landscape.

Remnant features Even where a designed landscape is less intact, its remaining elements may still be significant and their loss would be inappropriate.

Su bdivision/grounds Where development proposals include subdivision of ownership of garden ground, particular care should be taken to ensure there is no adverse effect from separate management approaches. Avoid new boundary structures that would be out of character with the original open aspect of the landscape and would be detrimental to the setting of a main building.

Roads and parking New roads and parking areas should be located away from sensitive parts of the landscape and should avoid obstructing views.

Planting Production of a planting conservation and restoration plan will be encouraged following a detailed tree survey and research into historic records. While woodland and avenues should be managed to optimise their amenity, landscape and habitat values over the long term, replacement trees and shrubs should be established where necessary to provide continuity into the future.

Ancient trees should be valued whether specimen, in avenues or woodlands, and allowed to develop and decay where possible. Historic landscapes have become refuges for some of our oldest and culturally important trees and associated wildlife.

3 Plan replacement of trees in avenues with care maintaining the intrinsic proportions and structure of the avenue and protecting root zones.

Identify key features and landscape attributes for retention and enhancement

Choice of species and source of stock material for new planting should be carefully considered. Locally provenanced native stock may be ecologically desirable in certain ancient woodlands, while non native trees and shrubs may form an intrinsic part of the historical landscape framework.

Reasoned justification

The purpose of the guideline is to protect the quality and historic integrity of a designed landscape and avoid damage to their special character. At the same time, it is recognised that development may on occasion be accommodated within or adjacent to these areas provided it is carefully sited and designed.

Other relevant guidelines cover the following topics: Trees and Development; Quality of Lan d s ca p ing ; Biod ivers ity .

I Introduction Gardens and designed landscapes contribute in many ways to the value of the historic city centre, suburbs and rural hinterland of Edinburgh. A wide range of types of designed green space - from Princes Street Gardens and other New Town Gardens, through public parks, cemeteries and institutional grounds, to former landed estates that survive in various degrees of preservation - contrast with the architecture of the city, contribute to visual and natural diversity and provide valued recreational assets. An Inventoryof Gardens and DesignedLandscapes in Scotland is compiled and maintained by Historic Scotland and identifies gardens and designed landscapes of national importance. The effect of proposed development on a garden or designed landscape is a material consideration in the determinationof a planning application. Planning authorities are required to consult with Scottish Ministers through Historic Scotland on any proposed development that may affect a site contained in the Inventory (Scottish Planning Policy SPP 23). National Planning Policy Guidelines (NPPG 23: Natural Heritage) also refers to the gardens and designed landscapes included in the Inventory and their importance in terms of their scenic quality and historic interest, and their often containing valuable wildlife habitats and other features of natural heritage interest. The value of a more comprehensive record that includes gardens and designed landscapes of regional and local significance is recognised by many planners, conservation groups and historians. In Paragraph 3.7 of its policy statement Scottish Historic Environment Policy (October 2008) Historic Scotland acknowledges the contribution made by these non-Inventory landscapes to the local historic environment and landscape character, and encourages planning authorities to develop appropriate policies for their identification and future management. The purpose of this survey, therefore, has been to list and describe sites of value that are currently afforded neither recognition nor protection from detrimental development under existing official records within the present planning system. City of Edinburgh Council commissioned Peter McGowan Associates, landscape architects, with Christopher Dingwall, garden historian, to survey gardens and designed landscapes within the Edinburgh area. The principle objective of the study has been, through desk review, research and field survey, to identify all significant gardens and designed landscapes - including those of local and regional value, as well as previously unrecognised sites of national value, and their significant existing features.

2 Methodology The survey methodology falls into two stages. First, a desk-based search to identify all potential sites of value using a small range of historical maps and published sources. Second, selection of the sites for detailed research and visual survey to produce an individual survey report on each site. For the second stage of the survey, a wider range of historical maps and published sources, both printed and in web-based, was used, although the time allocation for each site precluded primary archival research. The first stage of the survey produced a long list of 31 2 sites and included public parks and open spaces, private estates, institutional grounds (schools, university campuses and halls, business parks, hospitals etc), cemeteries, allotments, villa groups, golf courses and vestigial sites. This list includes the eighteen lnventory sites within the Edinburgh area and all the New Town gardens (thirty-seven dentified, not all of which are covered in a group entry in the Inventory). The 3roce.s of identifyingthese sites is entirely document based and so no qualitative ?valuation has been made of the sites in the long list. 6 Edinburgh Sulvey of Gardens and Designed Landscapes

From the long list, fortyeight priority sites were chosen for detailed reports. These sites were selected principally because they are, or are likely to be, the subject of development proposals or on account of the level of development activity in their vicinity, although some sites were selected for a variety of other reasons, as discussed in Section 5. All the 31 2 sites identified in the long list have been plotted in the Council’s GIS map base. The forty-eight sites with detailed reports have additional information plotted, covering the built and planted features of the designed landscape, to produce a plan for each site. Stage 1 and the research for Stage 2 were undertaken during 2006. Most site visits were undertaken in 2007, although some visits continued into 2008-09 where there were access difficulties. Stage 2 site report were written up during 2008 and early 2009.

3 Consultations The client department has been City of Edinburgh Council City Development Department and regular planning and progress meetings have been held with the department’s representative, Frances Jarvie, Principal Planner, Natural Heritage. At various stages during the survey Historic Scotland and the Garden History Society in Scotland have been consulted. In addition other stakeholders including Scottish Natural Heritage, City of Edinburgh Council Culture and Leisure Department, City of Edinburgh Council Archaeologist, Scottish Natural Heritage and Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) have been consulted on the draft reports. In most cases,owners or occupiers have been contacted regarding access for site surveys, although not in the case of publicly-accessible or communally-owned sites.

4 Stage 1 Survey The main purpose of Stage 1 was to provide a basic and comprehensive list of sites from which to select sites worthy of further investigation. A range of site categorieswas included, as shown below. The sites also varied widely in terms of size and quality, although the process of identification did not include a qualitative assessment. The resulting list and their mapping in the GIS database therefore covers sites of a great range of values that may be significant at local, regional or national level in terms of the Inventory parameters of aesthetic, historical, horticultural, architectural, scenic, nature conservation and archaeological values. Included is this list are sites such as playing fields and allotments of local value that will rate very lowly, as well as nationally important parks and estate landscapes that will have high or outstanding values. The categories and numbers of sites are as follows. Allotment sites I9 Cemetery sites 23 Commercial (offices, hotels, exhibition ground etc) 7 Fragmented with mixed use 2 Golf courses 15 Institutional (schools, universities, hospitals etc) 34 New Town gardens 35 Private gardens and estates 49 Public parks and open spaces (incl. Royal Park & Royal Botanic Garden) 101 Utilities 1 Vestigial sites 16 Villa groups (large houses and gardens with group value) 10 Edinburgh Survey of Gardens 7 and Designed Landscapes

The schedule of 31 2 sites, with brief notes on each site, is included as Appendix 1. The schedule also identifies the Stage 2 priority sites with detailed reports.

5 Stage 2 Site Reports The priority sites selected for detailed reports relate to the value to be gained from each reports rather than an aim to study a representative sample. The detailed report sites are unevenly spread between the site categories and in location across the city. The selection of sites was undertaken by Council representatives and the consultant with the following priorities. Sites in areas of the city zoned for development or with high development pressures, notably in the Gogar/lngliston and Balerno areas of rural west Edinburgh Other sites of known quality affected by active or predicted development proposals, including sites being marketed with possible use changes Institutional sites with a history of regular additional development or change of use, from hospitals to university campuses Sites with a perceived need for conservation or understanding of conservation requirements, including historic and 19th century graveyards New town gardens that lie outside the group boundary in the Inventory One individual lnventory site was included - Hatton - due to its conservation needs and to investigate the boundaries given in the Inventory As a result, the forty-eight sites that were selected are in the following categories. The number of sites was determined by the available budget. Cemetery sites 7 Commercial (oftices, hotels, exhibition ground etc) 5 Fragmented with mixed use 1 Golf courses 2 Institutional (schools, universities, hospitals etc) 13 New Town Gardens 2 Private gardens and estates 13 Public parks and open spaces 4 Villa groups (houses and gardens with group value) 1 In terms of distribution, the forty-eight sites lie within the following Local Plan areas. Central 12 North-east 0 North-West 7 Rural west 20 South-east 6 South-west 3 The site reports are loosely based on the format of the Inventory, adapted to reflect the differences the Edinburgh sites.

6 General Observations The forty-eight sites are an unrepresentative sample and so it is difficult to draw findings or conclusions that have any general application. Studies in other areas of Scotland have shown that Inventory sites typically represent about 10 to 20% of all historic gardens and designed landscapes nationally, there being many other sites of local or regional value in all parts of the country. The information from the two stages of the Edinburgh survey confirms these findings. The survey shows that there are many gardens and designed landscape of considerable heritage value in Edinburgh in addition to the Inventory sites, with sites such as Ratho Park, Norton House, Gogar Mount, Mortonhall and Edmonstone retaining much of their character, many features and a major contribution to the landscape quality of their vicinity. However, these represent the best sites and all have been affected by development and loss of features to a degree and they are unlikely to be considered of sufficient quality to merit addition to the national Inventory. It is not that Edinburgh did not have more notable gardens and designed landscapes - Dreghorn Castle would be of national importance if it has survived intact - but in an urban or urban fringe location few sites derived from estate landscapes survive in anything like their optimal form. Inevitably, with urban growth through the 20th and early 21st centuries, sites have been developed for residential and institutional use, subject to industrial uses, converted to golf courses and adapted to other uses. Given the scale of urban growth, what is remarkable about the designed landscapes in Edinburgh is their resilience and the importance that they still play in the urban form and rural scenery of the urban fringe, in accommodatingcurrent uses and in the lives of local people. Of the forty-eight sites investigated in detail, two-thirds were significant estate or large villa designed landscapes in the 19th century and all remain in a recognisable form, albeit with areas of development, changed uses and loss of features in some cases. The most resilient of features is the landscape structure of tree belts and woodlands, which survive in areas where other features have been lost, for example within the suburban housing areas east of Dreghorn and west of Mortonhall. The importance of the mature avenues, tree belts and woodlands that continue to play an important role in the cityscape and local scenery cannot be over-emphasised. The resilience of designed landscapes is evident in a more emphatic way in several campus-type sites were development has, arguably, added to the cultural value of what were fairly ordinary urban fringe designed landscapes. High quality landscape and building design to accommodate new uses of high cultural or commercial value have been achieved at sites as diverse as Riccarton, Gogarburn, Corstorphinehill and Pollock Halls to deliver a modern phase in the history of these sites where their current cultural values far outweigh that of the typical 19th century mansion settings that they replace. Designed landscapes can be seen to be not only resilient but also highly adaptable. Two hospital sites, that started life as the setting of a tower-house and a farmhouse, have been converted to campuses for Napier University at Craighouse and Craiglockhart. Ratho Park, and to a lesser extent Hanley Edinburgh Survey of Gardens 9 and Designed Landscapes

(GogarburnGolf Course), have converted to golf course use within much of their mature parkland character intact, although affected by the common problem of the character of new planting. Many of Edinburgh’s public parks started life as estate landscapes, including Inch Park, although it is much reduced in extent and landscape quality. Mortonhall, one of the largest sites and still a privately owned estate, has adapted to its greenbelt position by a diversity of uses, with a high level of public access and including conversion of the mansion-house to apartments. Similarly large, Dreghorn remains a fine spacious setting for good quality barracks architecture, even if the core is divorced from its extensive woodland enclosure. The third landscape of this scale, the Barnton/Cramond sites, have evolved in a more diverse and fragmented way providing a setting for housing as well as golf courses and public open spaces. Of all the highly adapted sites, perhaps lngliston has fared least well through its phases of use as a motor-racing circuit and exhibition grounds with very little tree structure remaining. The most recently adapted site works more with the historic fabric -the creation of a sculpture park in the grounds of Bonnington House, opening to the public in 2009. Since Wwl the traditional estate designed landscape has been progressively lessviable in its uses of farming, forestry and private recreation, and the extensive built and planted features increasingly expensive to maintain. As the Edinburgh sites show, designed landscapes make very attractive sites for a variety of modern uses - particularly housing, golf courses and institutional uses. In urban fringe situations, the pressures from the expanding urban area are impossible to resist in the long term and this pattern is likely to continue, except where strictly limited by green belt or other policies. About ten of the report sites are designed landscapes that have survived as private estates where encouragement needs to be given to owners to retain the traditional uses and their built and planted features. This is expensive to do and with low incomes from traditional estate sources - or where productive land may have been sold off - other means of financing upkeep are often necessary. Conservation and green belt policies, listing status and other designations can reduce the opportunities for new sources of income through development. Planning policy in relation to these sites needs to reflect both the need to encourage owners to maintain traditional uses with a viable income and the long-term inevitability of change in these landscapes. The seven cemetery sites are obviously a distinct and separate group. The once- private 19th century cemeteries have been through a difficult period of neglect but now receive a regular if basic level of care, limited by Council resources, with additional inputs from friends groups. However, this is insufficient for their long- term conservation and major problems, like the safety of gravestones, remain. Active graveyards and crematoria, as at Mortonhall, have different problems and lessons may be learned from the privately run crematorium at Warnston. A category of designed landscape that is quite distinctly of Edinburgh are the grounds private schools and hospitals or charity schools @auperpalaces),mostly characterised in strongly-expressed architectural styles with dramatic skylines. Among the detailed reports Fettes College is in this category of site. Deterioration of the built fabric is a widespread problem. While buildings have often been demolished, many others have been converted to new uses with an assured future life. The extensive features of estate walls, hahas, terraces, garden walls, bridges, garden buildings, gateways and lodges are often neglected, and may be severely deteriorated and dangerous. Ways need to be found to conserve these important features that define site boundaries and add to their richness. 10 Edinburgh Survey of Gardens and Designed Landscapes

7 Recommendations

0 All the forty-eight sites covered by detailed reports are of value as cultural landscapes at a local or regional level - and in some cases include features of national value - and should scheduled in Local Plans. Sites should be defined by area in Local Plans and related to a policy that encourages their conservation and enhancement, protects them from inappropriate development and promotes sensitive new design, in line with advice from the Scottish Government, as set out in Paragraph 3.8 of Scottish Historic Environment Policy (October 2008).

0 The survey should not be seen as comprehensive or conclusive. The ‘long list’ covers a great range of sites of varying quality and was produced as a rough trawl from which to select sites for detailed study. The forty-eight sites with detailed reports are an unrepresentative sample of some of the more significant sites. For the survey to be of use in planning and management generally the long list should be refined and other significant sites added to the forty-eight sites so that all known sites of regional value are recorded. In addition: - other potential new sites of merit should be assessed and included, particularly smaller garden sites - entries should be extended and updated as new information becomes available; primary sources may be accessed under a programme of further research. Conservation Management Plans, following the guidelines of bodies such as Historic Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage or the Heritage Lottery Fund, should be required for sites where development is proposed and to coordinate management of sites with fragmented or divided ownership. Such plans can provide the context for successful new development while retaining the features of sites that make them special. Tree belts and woodlands are the most persistent feature of designed landscapes and in many cases they survive were buildings and parkland have been lost. Their value in urban form needs recognition and protection through Conservation Area and TPO designations. However, resources also need to be directed at management both on publicly and privately owned sites. Care of mature trees, particularly in respect of health and safety of ageing and potentially dangerous trees, and restocking with young trees for the future are two equally important aspects of management. Encouragement should be given also for increased public access, where appropriate, related to core path network planning and the other provisions of the Land Reform Act. The survey is of local history interest and should be publicly accessible, on the web and in libraries. Site interpretation of the history of landscape development and social history will also be appropriate in several cases. Most ofthe individual reports include important site-specific recommendations regarding future management that expand on these general issues. Edinburgh Survey of Garden5 and Designed Landscape
