Town and country planning

• Reference:GB 252 CC1/T&CP
• Dates of Creation:1948-

• Scope and Content

  Plans and applications submitted to Perth & Kinross county under the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947 which laid down procedures to control urban sprawl into the countryside. All planning was to be subject to planning permission by local councils. Most importantly, every area of the country was to have a ‘development plan’ showing how each area was either to be developed or preserved.

• Arrangement

  Contents organised sequentially by year. Plans and applications concerning advertisements and mineral workings are organised into their own series (CC1/T&CP/ADV and CC1/T&CP/MW), but retain the sequential number from their position within their original year.

• Conditions Governing Use
