Administrative / Biographical History
Perth and Kinross Joint County Council was created by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 when Perth County Council was combined for most, but not all, purposes with Kinross County Council.
The planning department was set up in 1948 under the terms of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1947. It oversaw the planning of housing and other buildings in the county area.
County councils were abolished in 1975 and their powers transferred to regional, islands and district councils. Tayside Regional Council was the main successor authority to Perth and Kinross County Council, although part of southern Perthshire was encompassed within the boundaries of Central Regional Council.
