An Act to consolidate certain enactments relating to special controls in respect of buildings and areas of special architectural or historic interest with amendments to give effect to recommendations of the Scottish Law Commission. Be it enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
For the purposes of this Act and with a view to the guidance of planning authorities in the performance of their functions under this Act in relation to buildings of special architectural or historic interest, Historic Environment Scotland shall compile lists of such buildings or approve, with or without modifications, such lists compiled by other persons or bodies of persons, and may amend any list so compiled or approved.
In considering whether to include a building in a list compiled or approved under this section, Historic Environment Scotland may take into account not only the building itself but also—
any respect in which its exterior contributes to the architectural or historic interest of any group of buildings of which it forms part, and
the desirability of preserving, on the ground of its architectural or historic interest, any feature of the building consisting of a man-made object or structure fixed to the building or forming part of the land and comprised within the curtilage of the building.
Before compiling or approving, with or without modifications, any list under this section or amending any such list Historic Environment Scotland shall consult such persons or bodies of persons as appear to it appropriate as having special knowledge of, or interest in, buildings of architectural or historic interest.
In this Act “listed building” means a building which is for the time being included in a list compiled or approved by Historic Environment Scotland under this section; and, for the purposes of this Act, the following shall , subject to subsection (4A), be treated as part of the building—
any object or structure fixed to the building, and
any object or structure within the curtilage of the building which, though not fixed to the building, forms part of the land and has done so since before 1st July 1948.
In a list compiled or approved under this section, an entry for a building may provide—
that an object or structure mentioned in subsection (4)(a) or (b) is not to be treated as part of the building for the purposes of this Act,
that any part or feature of the building is not of special architectural or historic interest.
Schedule 1 (which makes provision as to the treatment as listed buildings of certain buildings formerly subject to building preservation orders) shall have effect.
Historic Environment Scotland must— in such manner as may be prescribed.
publish any list compiled or approved under section 1, and any amendments of such a list, and
make such lists available for public inspection,
Historic Environment Scotland must also— of the inclusion of a building in, the amendment of an entry relating to a building in or the exclusion of a building from such a list.
notify such persons as may be prescribed, and
do so in such form and manner, and within such time, as may be prescribed,
The Scottish Ministers may by regulations make further provision for—
the publication of such lists,
the making of such lists available for public inspection,
the notification of the inclusion of a building in, the amendment of an entry relating to a building in or the exclusion of a building from such a list.
Regulations under subsection (3) may in particular provide for planning authorities in whose districts any buildings included in such lists are situated to take any of the steps mentioned in that subsection.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
As soon as possible after any list has been compiled or approved under section 1, or any amendments of such a list have been made, a copy of so much of the list as relates to the district of any planning authority or the area of the local authority for the purposes of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987, or of so much of the amendments as so relates, certified by or on behalf of the Secretary of State to be a true copy, shall be deposited with the clerk of that authority.
As soon as possible after the inclusion of any building in a list under section 1, whether on the compilation or approval of the list or by amendment, or as soon as possible after any such list has been amended by the exclusion of any building from it—
the Secretary of State shall inform the planning authority in whose district the building is situated of the inclusion or exclusion, and
the planning authority shall serve a notice in the prescribed form on every owner, lessee and occupier of the building, stating that the building has been included in, or excluded from, the list.
The Secretary of State shall keep available for public inspection, free of charge, at reasonable hours and at a convenient place, copies of all lists and amendments of lists compiled, approved or made by him under section 1.
Every authority with whose clerk copies of any list or amendments are deposited under this section shall similarly keep available copies of so much of any such list or amendment as relates to buildings within their district or area.
If it appears to a planning authority that a building in their district which is not a listed building— they may serve on the owner, lessee and occupier of the building a notice (in this Act referred to as a “building preservation notice”).
is of special architectural or historic interest, and
is in danger of demolition or of alteration in such a way as to affect its character as a building of such interest,
A building preservation notice shall—
state that the building appears to the planning authority to be of special architectural or historic interest and that they have requested Historic Environment Scotland to consider including it in a list compiled or approved under section 1, and
explain the effect of subsections (3) to (5) and Schedule 2.
A building preservation notice—
shall come into force as soon as it has been served on the owner, lessee and occupier of the building to which it relates, and
subject to subsection (4), shall remain in force for 6 months from the date when it is served or, as the case may be, last served.
A building preservation notice shall cease to be in force if Historic Environment Scotland —
includes the building in a list compiled or approved under section 1, or
notifies the planning authority in writing that it does not intend to do so.
While a building preservation notice is in force with respect to a building, the provisions of this Act (other than section 53) and the principal Act shall have effect in relation to the building as if it were a listed building.
If, following the service of a building preservation notice, Historic Environment Scotland notifies the planning authority that it does not propose to include the building in a list compiled or approved under section 1, the authority—
shall immediately give notice of Historic Environment Scotland's decision to the owner, lessee and occupier of the building, and
shall not, within the period of 12 months beginning with the date of Historic Environment Scotland's notification, serve another building preservation notice in respect of the building.
If it appears to the planning authority to be urgent that a building preservation notice should come into force, they may, instead of serving the notice on the owner, lessee and occupier of the building to which it relates, affix the notice conspicuously to some object on the building.
The affixing of a notice under subsection (1) shall be treated for all the purposes of section 3, this section, sections 9 to 24 and Schedule 2 as service of the notice.
A notice which is so affixed must explain that by virtue of being so affixed it is treated as being served for those purposes.
Schedule 2 (which makes provision as respects the lapse of building reservation notices) shall have effect.
Historic Environment Scotland may, on the application of any person, issue a certificate stating that it does not intend to include a building in a list compiled or approved under section 1.
Where Historic Environment Scotland issues a certificate under subsection (1) in respect of a building—
it may not for a period of 5 years from the date of issue exercise in relation to the building any of the powers conferred on it by section 1, and
a planning authority may not for that period—
serve a building preservation notice in relation to the building, or
affix such a notice under section 4(1).
A person submitting an application to Historic Environment Scotland under subsection (1) must, at the same time as submitting it, give notice of the application to the planning authority within whose district the building is situated.
This section applies where Historic Environment Scotland makes a decision—
to include a building in the list compiled or approved under section 1,
to amend an entry in the list relating to a building (but not where the amendment excludes a building from the list).
A person mentioned in subsection (3) may appeal the decision to the Scottish Ministers.
The person is—
the owner of the building,
the tenant of the building,
the occupier of the building.
The Scottish Ministers may—
dismiss an appeal under section 5B,
allow such an appeal (in whole or in part).
Where the Scottish Ministers allow an appeal, they may vary a part of the decision appealed against whether or not the appeal relates to that part of the decision.
Where the Scottish Ministers allow an appeal, they may direct Historic Environment Scotland to exercise its power under section 1 to amend the list compiled or approved under that section to give effect to their decision.
Except as provided for by sections 57 and 58, the decision of the Scottish Ministers on an appeal under section 5B is final.
Regulations may make provision in connection with appeals under section 5B, including provision about—
the grounds on which an appeal may be made,
the information that is to be provided to, or may be required by, the Scottish Ministers in connection with the appeal.
Regulations under subsection (1) may also make provision about the procedure to be followed, including—

The form and content of such a statement are to be such as is prescribed.
The regulations must also require planning authorities, before granting or refusing applications for listed building consent in such cases or classes of case as may be prescribed, to consult—
Historic Environment Scotland,
such other persons as may be—
prescribed, or
specified in directions given to planning authorities by the Scottish Ministers.

A planning authority may decline to determine an application (in this subsection referred to as the “current application”) for listed building consent—
if—
in the period of two years ending with the date on which the current application is received, the Scottish Ministers have refused a similar application referred to them under section 11 or have dismissed an appeal against the refusal of, or an appeal under section 18(2) in respect of, a similar application, and
in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the Scottish Ministers refused the similar application or dismissed the appeal, been any significant change in any material considerations,
if—
in that period of two years the planning authority have refused more than one similar application,
there has been no appeal to the Scottish Ministers against either (or as the case may be any) of those refusals, and
in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the more (or as the case may be most) recent of the refusals, been any significant change in any material considerations,
if—
in that period of two years the planning authority have refused more than one similar application,
there has been an appeal to the Scottish Ministers against either (or as the case may be any) of those refusals but as at the time the current application is received no such appeal has yet been determined, and

in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the refusal or since the appeal was made (whichever was the more recent), been any significant change in any material considerations.
For the purposes of this section an application for listed building consent is to be taken to be similar to another such application only if the listed building and the works to which the applications relate are in the opinion of the planning authority the same or substantially the same.
The Secretary of State may give directions requiring applications for listed building consent to be referred to him instead of being dealt with by the planning authority.
A direction under this section may relate either to a particular application or to applications in respect of such buildings as may be specified in the direction.

A planning authority, if minded to grant listed building consent for any works—
must consider imposing a condition specified in, or of a nature indicated in, directions given to them by the Scottish Ministers, and
must not grant such consent without first satisfying the Scottish Ministers that such consideration has been given and that such a condition either will be imposed or is not needed.
Any listed building consent shall (except in so far as it otherwise provides) enure for the benefit of the building and of all persons for the time being interested in it.
Without prejudice to the generality of section 14(1), the conditions subject to which listed building consent may be granted may include conditions with respect to—
the preservation of particular features of the building, either as part of it or after severance from it;
the making good, after the works are completed, of any damage caused to the building by the works;
the reconstruction of the building or any part of it following the execution of any works, with the use of original materials so far as practicable and with such alterations of the interior of the building as may be specified in the conditions.
Listed building consent may also be granted subject to a condition reserving specified details of the works (whether or not set out in the application) for subsequent approval by the planning authority or, in the case of consent granted by the Secretary of State, specifying whether the reserved details are to be approved by the planning authority or by him.

if no period is so specified, on the expiration of a period of 3 years (beginning with that date),
Subsection (1) does not apply to a listed building consent granted before the date on which section 20 of the Planning etc. (Scotland) Act 2006 came into force.

The date of the granting or of the refusal of an application for listed building consent shall be the date on which the notice of the planning authority’s decision bears to have been signed on behalf of the authority.
Any person interested in a listed building with respect to which listed building consent has been granted subject to conditions may apply to the planning authority for the variation or discharge of the conditions.
The application shall indicate what variation or discharge of conditions is applied for and the provisions of sections 9 to 13, 14(3) and 18 to 20 apply to such an application as they apply to an application for listed building consent.
On such an application the planning authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State may vary or discharge the conditions attached to the consent, and may add new conditions consequential upon the variation or discharge, as they or he think fit.
Where a planning authority— the applicant, if he is aggrieved by the decision, may appeal to the Secretary of State.

The notice of appeal may include as the ground or one of the grounds of the appeal a claim that the building is not of special architectural or historic interest and ought to be removed from any list compiled or approved by Historic Environment Scotland under section 1.
In the case of a building in respect of which a building preservation notice is in force, the notice may include a claim that the building should not be included in such a list.
Regulations may provide that an appeal in respect of an application for listed building consent, or for the variation or discharge of conditions subject to which such consent has been granted, shall not be entertained unless it is accompanied by a certificate in the prescribed form as to the interests in the building to which the appeal relates.

a claim for any such compensation may be made by any creditor in a heritable security over the interest, but without prejudice to the making of a claim by the person entitled to the interest,
no compensation to which this section applies shall be payable in respect of the interest of the creditor in the heritable security (as distinct from the interest which is subject to the security), and
any compensation to which this section applies which is payable in respect of the interest which is subject to the heritable security shall be paid to the creditor in the security or, if there is more than one such creditor, to the creditor whose security ranks first, and shall in either case be applied by him as if it were proceeds of sale by him under the powers competent to creditors in heritable securities.
Except in so far as may be otherwise provided by any regulations made under this Act, any question of disputed compensation under section 25 or 26 shall be referred to and determined by the Lands Tribunal.
In relation to the determination of any such question, the provisions of sections 9 and 11 of the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1963 shall apply, subject to any necessary modifications and to the provisions of any regulations made under this Act.
Where—
listed building consent in respect of a building is refused or is granted subject to conditions, or is revoked or modified by an order under section 21 or 24, and
any owner or lessee of the building claims that— he may, within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner, serve on the planning authority in whose district the building and land is situated a notice (in this Act referred to as a “listed building purchase notice”) requiring that authority to purchase his interest in the building and the land in accordance with sections 29 to 33.
the conditions mentioned in subsection (2) are satisfied with respect to it and any land comprising the building, or contiguous or adjacent to it, and owned or occupied with it, and
the conditions mentioned in subsection (3) are satisfied with respect to that land,
The conditions mentioned in subsection (1)(b)(i) are—
that the building and land in respect of which the notice is served have become incapable of reasonably beneficial use in their existing state,
in a case where listed building consent has been granted subject to conditions with respect to the execution of the works or has been modified by the imposition of such conditions, that the building and land cannot be rendered capable of such use by the carrying out of the works in accordance with those conditions, and
in any case, that the building and land cannot be rendered capable of such use by the carrying out of any other works for which listed building consent has been granted or for which the planning authority or the Secretary of State has undertaken to grant such consent.
The conditions mentioned in subsection (1)(b)(ii) are that the use of the land is substantially inseparable from that of the building and that it ought to be treated, together with the building, as a single holding.
Where, for the purpose of determining whether the conditions mentioned in subsection (2) are satisfied in relation to any building and land, any question arises as to what is or would in any particular circumstances be a reasonably beneficial use of the building and land, no account shall be taken of any prospective use which would involve the carrying out of development (other than any development specified in paragraph 1 or 2 of Schedule 11 to the principal Act) or of any works requiring listed building consent which might be executed to the building, other than works for which the planning authority or the Secretary of State has undertaken to grant such consent.
A listed building purchase notice may be served in respect of Crown land only as mentioned in this section.
The owner of a private interest in Crown land must not serve a listed building purchase notice unless—
he first offers to dispose of his interest to the appropriate authority on equivalent terms, and
the offer is refused by the appropriate authority.
The appropriate authority may serve a listed building purchase notice in relation to the following land—
land belonging to Her Majesty in right of her private estates,
land which forms part of the property, rights and interests to which section 90B(5) of the Scotland Act 1998 applies,
land which forms part of the Crown Estate.
An offer is made on equivalent terms if the price payable for the interest is equal to (and, in default of agreement, determined in the same manner as) the compensation which would be payable in respect of it if it were acquired in pursuance of a listed building purchase notice.
The planning authority on whom a listed building purchase notice is served under section 28 shall serve on the owner or lessee by whom the notice was served a notice stating—
that the authority are willing to comply with the purchase notice,
that another planning authority or statutory undertakers specified in the notice under this subsection have agreed to comply with it in their place, or
that for reasons specified in the notice under this subsection the authority are not willing to comply with the purchase notice and have not found any other planning authority or statutory undertakers who will agree to comply with it in their place, and that they have sent to the Secretary of State a copy of the purchase notice and of the notice under this subsection.
A notice under subsection (1) must be served before the end of the period of 3 months beginning with the date of service of the listed building purchase notice.
Where the planning authority on whom a listed building purchase notice is served by an owner or lessee have served on him a notice in accordance with subsection (1)(a) or (b) the authority, or the other planning authority or statutory undertakers specified in the notice, as the case may be, shall be deemed—
to be authorised to acquire the interest of the owner or lessee compulsorily in accordance with the provisions of section 42, and
to have served a notice to treat in respect of it on the date of service of the notice under that subsection.
Where the planning authority propose to serve such a notice as is mentioned in subsection (1)(c), they shall first send to the Secretary of State a copy of—
the proposed notice, and
the listed building purchase notice which was served on them.
Where a copy of a listed building purchase notice is sent to the Secretary of State under section 29(4), he shall consider whether to confirm the notice or to take other action under section 31 in respect of it.
Before confirming such a notice or taking such other action, the Secretary of State shall give notice of his proposed action—
to the person who served the notice,
to the planning authority on whom it was served, and
if the Secretary of State proposes to substitute any other planning authority or statutory undertakers for the planning authority on whom the notice was served, to them.
A notice under subsection (2) shall specify the period (which must not be less than 28 days from its service) within which any of the persons, authorities or statutory undertakers on whom it is served may require the Secretary of State to give them an opportunity of appearing before, and being heard by, a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose.
If within that period any of those persons, authorities or statutory undertakers so requires, the Secretary of State shall, before he confirms the listed building purchase notice or takes any other action under section 31 in respect of it, give each of them such an opportunity.
If, after any of those persons, authorities or statutory undertakers have appeared before and been heard by the appointed person, or the persons, authorities and statutory undertakers concerned have agreed to dispense with such a hearing, it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient to take action under section 31 otherwise than in accordance with the notice given by him, the Secretary of State may take that action accordingly.
In this section and sections 31 to 33, “land” means the building and the land in respect of which the notice under section 28(1) is served.
Subject to the following provisions of this section, if the Secretary of State is satisfied that the conditions specified in section 28(2)(a) to (c) are satisfied in the case of any listed building purchase notice, he shall confirm the notice.
If the Secretary of State is satisfied that those conditions are fulfilled only in respect of part of the land, he shall confirm the notice only in respect of that part and the notice shall have effect accordingly.
The Secretary of State shall not confirm the notice unless he is satisfied that the land comprises such land contiguous or adjacent to the building as is in his opinion required—
for preserving the building or its amenities,
for affording access to it, or
for its proper control or management.
If it appears to the Secretary of State to be expedient to do so he may, instead of confirming the notice—
in the case of a notice served on account of the refusal of listed building consent for any works, grant such consent for those works,
in the case of a notice served on account of such consent being granted subject to conditions, revoke or amend those conditions so far as it appears to him to be required in order to enable the land to be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of those works,
in the case of a notice served on account of such consent being revoked by an order under section 21 or 24, cancel the order revoking the consent, or
in the case of a notice served on account of such consent being modified by such an order by the imposition of conditions, revoke or amend those conditions so far as appears to him to be required in order to enable the land to be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use by the carrying out of the works in respect of which the consent was granted.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that the land, or any part of it, could be rendered capable of reasonably beneficial use within a reasonable time by the carrying out— he may, instead of confirming the listed building purchase notice (or confirming it so far as it relates to that part), direct that if an application is made for such consent for those works, or as the case may be for planning permission for that development, it shall be granted.
of any other works for which listed building consent ought to be granted, or
of any development for which planning permission ought to be granted,
If it appears to the Secretary of State, having regard to the probable ultimate use of the building or its site, that it is expedient to do so he may, if he confirms the notice, modify it in relation to either the whole or any part of the land, by substituting another planning authority or statutory undertakers for the authority on whom the notice was served.
Any reference in section 30 to the taking of action by the Secretary of State under this section includes a reference to the taking by him of a decision not to confirm the purchase notice on the grounds that any of the conditions referred to in subsection (1) of this section are not satisfied.
Where the Secretary of State confirms a listed building purchase notice, the authority on whom the notice was served shall be deemed—
to be authorised to acquire the owner’s or lessee’s interest in the land compulsorily in accordance with the provisions of section 42, and
to have served a notice to treat in respect of it on such date as the Secretary of State may direct.
If before the end of the relevant period the Secretary of State has neither— the notice shall be deemed to be confirmed at the end of that period and the authority on whom the notice was served shall be deemed to have been authorised as is mentioned in subsection (1)(a) and to have served a notice to treat in respect of the owner’s or lessee’s interest at the end of that period.
confirmed the listed building purchase notice, nor
notified the owner or lessee by whom it was served that he does not propose to confirm it, nor
taken any such action in respect of it as is mentioned in subsection (4) or (5) of section 31,
Where a listed building purchase notice is confirmed in respect of only part of the land, references in this section to the owner’s or lessee’s interest in the land are references to the owner’s or lessee’s interest in that part.
Where a listed building purchase notice is modified under section 31(6) by the substitution of another planning authority or statutory undertakers for the authority on whom the notice was served, the reference in subsection (1) to that authority is to that other planning authority or those statutory undertakers.
In this section “the relevant period” means, subject to subsection (6)—
the period of 9 months beginning with the date of the service of the listed building purchase notice, or
if it ends earlier, the period of 6 months beginning with the date on which a copy of the purchase notice was sent to the Secretary of State.
The relevant period does not run if the Secretary of State has before him at the same time both—
a copy of the listed building purchase notice sent to him under section 29(4), and
a notice of appeal under section 18 or 35 relating to any of the land to which the purchase notice relates.
Where any decision by the Secretary of State to confirm or not to confirm a listed building purchase notice (including any decision to confirm the notice only in respect of part of the land, or to give any direction as to the granting of listed building consent or planning permission) is quashed under section 58, the notice shall be treated as cancelled, but the owner or lessee may serve a further notice in its place.
For the purposes of determining whether such a further notice has been served within the period prescribed for the service of listed building purchase notices, the decision concerning listed building consent on account of which the notice has been served shall be treated as having been made on the date on which the decision of the Secretary of State was quashed.
Where compensation is payable under section 25 in respect of expenditure incurred in carrying out any works to a building, any compensation which then becomes payable in respect of the acquisition of an interest in the land in pursuance of a listed building purchase notice shall be reduced by an amount equal to the value of those works.
Where it appears to the planning authority— they may, if they consider it expedient to do so having regard to the effect of the works on the character of the building as one of special architectural or historic interest, serve a notice under this section (in this Act referred to as a “listed building enforcement notice”).
that any works have been, or are being, executed to a listed building in their district, and
that the works are such as to involve a contravention of section 8(1) or (2),
A listed building enforcement notice shall specify the alleged contravention and shall (either or both)—
specify any works falling within subsection (1) which the authority requires to cease,
require steps falling within subsection (2) and specified in the notice to be taken.
Those steps are —
for restoring the building to its former state,
if the authority consider that such restoration would not be reasonably practicable or would be undesirable, for executing such further works specified in the notice as they consider are required to alleviate in a manner acceptable to them the effect of the works which were carried out without listed building consent, or
for bringing the building to the state it would have been in if the terms and conditions of any listed building consent for the works had been complied with.
In considering whether such restoration is undesirable under subsection (2)(b), the authority shall have regard to the desirability of preserving—
the character of the building, or
its features of architectural or historical interest.
Where such further works as are mentioned in subsection (2)(b) have been carried out on a building, listed building consent shall be deemed to have been granted in respect of the works carried out on that building.
A listed building enforcement notice— and, where different periods apply to different steps, references in this Act to the period for compliance with a listed building enforcement notice, in relation to any step, are to the period within which the step is required to be taken.
shall specify the date upon which it is to take effect and, subject to section 35(3), shall take effect on that date, and
shall specify the period (the “period for compliance”) within which — and may specify different periods for different works or steps.
any works required to cease must cease,
any steps required to be taken must be taken,
A copy of a listed building enforcement notice shall be served—
on the owner, on the lessee and on the occupier of the building to which it relates, and
on any other person having an interest in the building, being an interest which in the opinion of the authority is materially affected by the notice.
Where different periods apply to different works or steps, references in this Act to the period for compliance with a listed building enforcement notice, in relation to any works or step, are to the period within which the works are required to cease or the step is required to be taken.
The planning authority may— and the powers conferred by this subsection may be exercised whether or not the notice has taken effect.
withdraw a listed building enforcement notice (without prejudice to their power to issue another), or
waive or relax any requirement of such a notice and, in particular, extend the period specified in accordance with subsection (5),
The date specified in the notice under subsection (5)(a) must be at least 28 days after the date on which the notice is served.
The planning authority shall, immediately after exercising the powers conferred by subsection (7), give notice of the exercise to every person who has been served with a copy of the listed building enforcement notice or would, if the notice were reissued, be served with a copy of it.
Every planning authority shall keep available for public inspection free of charge at reasonable hours and at a convenient place a list containing particulars of any building in their district in respect of which a listed building enforcement notice has been served.
A person on whom a listed building enforcement notice is served or any other person having an interest in the building to which it relates may, at any time before the date specified in the notice as the date on which it is to take effect, appeal to the Secretary of State against the notice on any of the following grounds—
that the building is not of special architectural or historic interest;
that the matters alleged to constitute a contravention of section 8(1) or (2) have not occurred;
that those matters (if they occurred) do not constitute such a contravention;
that—
works to the building were urgently necessary in the interests of safety or health, or for the preservation of the building,
it was not practicable to secure safety or health or, as the case may be, the preservation of the building by works of repair or works for affording temporary support or shelter, and
the works carried out were limited to the minimum measures immediately necessary;
that listed building consent ought to be granted for the works, or that any relevant condition of such consent which has been granted ought to be discharged, or different conditions substituted;
that copies of the notice were not served as required by section 34(6);
except in relation to such a requirement as is mentioned in section 34(2)(b) or (c), that the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary for restoring the building to its condition before the works were carried out;
that the period specified in the notice as the period within which any step required by the notice is to be taken falls short of what should reasonably be allowed;
that the steps required by the notice for the purpose of restoring the character of the building to its former state would not serve that purpose;
that the cessation of any works required by the notice exceeds what is necessary to remedy the contravention of section 8(1) or (2),
that steps required to be taken by virtue of section 34(2)(b) exceed what is necessary to alleviate the effect of the works executed to the building;
that steps required to be taken by virtue of section 34(2)(c) exceed what may reasonably be required to bring the building to the state in which it would have been if the terms and conditions of the listed building consent had been complied with.
An appeal under this section shall be made ...—
by giving written notice of the appeal to the Secretary of State before the date specified in the listed building enforcement notice as the date on which it is to take effect, or
by sending such notice to him in a properly addressed and prepaid letter posted to him at such time that, in the ordinary course of post, it would be delivered to him before that date; or
by sending such notice to them using electronic communications at such time that, in the ordinary course of transmission, it would be delivered to them before that date
Where an appeal is brought under this section the notice shall be of no effect pending the final determination or withdrawal of the appeal.
A person who gives notice of appeal under this section shall submit to the Secretary of State, either when giving the notice or within such time as may be prescribed, a statement in writing—
specifying the grounds on which he is appealing against the listed building enforcement notice, and
giving such further information as may be prescribed.
Schedule 3 (which makes provision regarding the determination of certain appeals by a person appointed by the Secretary of State) applies in relation to appeals under this section.
The Secretary of State may prescribe the procedure to be followed on appeals under section 35, and may in particular—
require the planning authority to submit, within such time as may be prescribed, a statement indicating the submissions which they propose to put forward on the appeal,
specify the matters to be included in such a statement,
require the authority or the appellant to give such notice of such an appeal as may be prescribed to such persons as may be prescribed, and
require the authority to send to the Secretary of State, within such period from the date of the bringing of the appeal as may be prescribed, a copy of the enforcement notice and a list of the persons served with copies of it.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
On the determination of an appeal under section 35 the Secretary of State shall give directions for giving effect to the determination, including where appropriate directions for quashing the listed building enforcement notice.
On such an appeal the Secretary of State—
may— if he is satisfied that the correction or variation will not cause injustice to the appellant or the planning authority, and
correct any defect, error or misdescription in the listed building enforcement notice, or
vary the terms of the listed building enforcement notice,
in a case where it would otherwise be a ground for determining the appeal in favour of the appellant that a person required by section 34(6) to be served with a copy of the notice was not served, may disregard that fact if he is satisfied that the person has not been substantially prejudiced by the failure to serve him.
The Secretary of State may—
dismiss such an appeal if the appellant fails to comply with section 35(4) within the prescribed time;
allow such an appeal or quash the listed building enforcement notice if the planning authority fail to comply within the prescribed period with any requirement imposed by regulations made by virtue of section 36(1)(a), (b) or (d).
On the determination of an appeal under section 35 the Secretary of State may—
grant listed building consent for the works to which the listed building enforcement notice relates,
discharge any condition subject to which such consent was granted and substitute any other condition, whether more or less onerous, or
direct Historic Environment Scotland to exercise its power under section 1 to amend the list compiled or approved under that section to give effect to that determination.
Any listed building consent granted by the Secretary of State under subsection (4) shall be treated as granted on an application for the same consent under section 9.
The validity of a listed building enforcement notice shall not, except by way of appeal under section 35, be questioned in any proceedings whatsoever on the grounds specified in section 35(1)(b) and (f).
If any of the steps specified in the listed building enforcement notice have not been taken within the period for compliance with the notice, the authority may—
enter on the land and take those steps, and
recover from the person who is then the owner or lessee of the land any expenses reasonably incurred by them in doing so.
Where a listed building enforcement notice has been served in respect of a building— shall be deemed to be incurred or paid for the use and at the request of the person who carried out the works to which the notice relates.
any expenses incurred by the owner, lessee or occupier of a building for the purpose of complying with it, and
any sums paid by the owner or lessee of a building under subsection (1) in respect of expenses incurred by the planning authority in taking steps required by it,
If on a complaint by the owner of any land it appears to the sheriff that the occupier of the land is preventing the owner from carrying out work required to be carried out by a listed building enforcement notice, the sheriff may by warrant authorise the owner to go on the land and carry out that work.
A planning authority taking steps under subsection (1) may sell any materials removed by them from the land unless those materials are claimed by the owner within 3 days of their removal.
After any such sale the planning authority shall pay the proceeds to the owner less the expenses recoverable by them from him.
Where a planning authority seek, under subsection (1), to recover any expenses from a person on the basis that he is the owner of any land, and such person proves that— his liability shall be limited to the total amount of the money which he has or has had in his hands on behalf of that other person.
he is receiving the rent in respect of that land merely as trustee, tutor, curator, factor or agent of some other person, and
he has not, and since the date of the service on him of the demand for payment has not had, in his hands on behalf of that other person sufficient money to discharge the whole demand of the authority,
A planning authority who by reason of subsection (6) have not recovered the whole of any such expenses from a trustee, tutor, curator, factor or agent may recover any unpaid balance from the person on whose behalf the rent is received.
Any person who wilfully obstructs a person acting in the exercise of powers under subsection (1) shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
Where, after the end of the period for compliance with the notice, any step required by a listed building enforcement notice to be taken has not been taken or any works required by the notice to cease have not ceased, the person who is for the time being owner of the land is in breach of the notice.
If at any time the owner of the land is in breach of a listed building enforcement notice he shall be guilty of an offence.
An offence under this section may be charged by reference to any day or longer period of time and a person may be convicted of a second or subsequent offence under this section by reference to any period of time following the preceding conviction for such an offence.
In proceedings against any person for an offence under this section, it shall be a defence for him to show—
that he did everything he could be expected to do to secure that all the steps required by the notice were taken or that all works required by the notice to cease were ceased, , or
that he was not served with a copy of the listed building enforcement notice and was not aware of its existence.
A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable—
on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £20,000, and
on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
In determining the amount of any fine to be imposed on a person convicted of an offence under this section, the court shall in particular have regard to any financial benefit which has accrued or appears likely to accrue to him in consequence of the offence.
Where a planning authority have reason to believe that, by virtue of subsection (1) of section 39, a person is in breach of a listed building enforcement notice they may, if the conditions in subsection (9) are satisfied, serve on the person a fixed penalty notice as respects that breach.
The fixed penalty notice is to specify (either or both)—
the works specified, under subsection (1A) of section 34, in the listed building enforcement notice which have not ceased,
the step specified, under that subsection, in the listed building enforcement notice which has not been taken.
No more than one fixed penalty notice may be served on a person as respects a breach by the person of a listed building enforcement notice.
For the purposes of this section, a “fixed penalty notice” is a notice offering the person the opportunity of discharging any liability to conviction for an offence under section 39 as respects the breach of the listed building enforcement notice.
The person discharges any such liability by paying to the planning authority, within the relevant period, a penalty of a prescribed amount specified in the fixed penalty notice.
The relevant period mentioned in subsection (5) is the period of 30 days immediately following the day on which the fixed penalty notice is served.
But if payment is made within the first 15 days of the period mentioned in subsection (6) the amount payable is reduced by 25%.
The fixed penalty notice is to identify the period mentioned in subsection (6) and is also to state that if payment is made within the first 15 days of that period the amount payable is reduced by 25%.
The conditions are that the fixed penalty notice—
is served within the period of 6 months which immediately follows the period for compliance with the listed building enforcement notice,
is not served after the person has been charged with an offence under section 39 as respects the breach of the listed building enforcement notice.
During the period mentioned in subsection (6) it is not competent to commence proceedings against the person for an offence under section 39 as respects that breach.
If the amount (or as the case may be the reduced amount) is timeously paid it is not competent to commence proceedings against the person for an offence under section 39 as respects that breach.
A penalty received by a planning authority by virtue of subsection (5) is to accrue to that authority.
In prescribing an amount for the purposes of subsection (5), the Scottish Ministers may make different provision for different cases or different classes of case, including provision for different amounts by reference to previous breaches of listed building enforcement notices relating to the same steps or works.
If, after the issue of a listed building enforcement notice, consent is granted under section 7(3)— the listed building enforcement notice shall cease to have effect in so far as such work is or such works are required by the notice to cease, or in so far as it requires steps to be taken involving the works not being retained or, as the case may be, for complying with that condition.
for the retention of any work to which the listed building enforcement notice relates, or
permitting the retention of works without complying with some condition subject to which a previous listed building consent was granted,
The fact that such a notice has wholly or partly ceased to have effect under subsection (1) shall not affect the liability of any person for an offence in respect of a previous failure to comply with that notice.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient that a listed building enforcement notice should be served in respect of any land, he may himself serve such a notice under section 34.
A listed building enforcement notice served by the Secretary of State shall have the same effect as a notice served by the planning authority.
The Secretary of State shall not serve such a notice without consulting the planning authority.
The provisions of this Act relating to listed building enforcement notices apply, so far as relevant, to a listed building enforcement notice served by the Secretary of State as they apply to a listed building enforcement notice served by a planning authority, but with the substitution for any reference to the planning authority of a reference to the Secretary of State, and any other necessary modifications.
Subsection (2) applies where the planning authority consider it expedient that any relevant works should cease before the expiry of the period for compliance with a listed building enforcement notice.
The authority may, when they serve the copy of the listed building enforcement notice or afterwards, serve a notice (in this Act referred to as a “stop notice”) prohibiting the execution of the relevant works to the listed building to which the enforcement notice relates, or to any part of that building specified in the stop notice.
In this section and sections 41B and 41D, “relevant works” means any works specified in the listed building enforcement notice as works which the planning authority require to cease and any works carried out as part of, or associated with, such works.
A stop notice may not be served if the listed building enforcement notice has taken effect.
A stop notice must specify the date when it is to come into effect, and that date—
must not be earlier than 3 days after the date when the notice is served, unless the planning authority consider that there are special reasons for specifying an earlier date and a statement of those reasons is served with the stop notice, and
must not be later than 28 days from the date when the notice is first served on any person.
A stop notice may be served by the planning authority on any person who appears to them to have an interest in the building or who is executing, or causing to be executed, the relevant works specified in the listed building enforcement notice.
The planning authority may at any time withdraw a stop notice (without prejudice to their power to serve another) by notice which must be—
served on all persons who were served with the stop notice, and
publicised by displaying it for 7 days in place of all or any site notices (within the meaning of section 41B(4)).
A stop notice ceases to have effect when— whichever occurs first.
the listed building enforcement notice to which it relates is withdrawn or quashed,
the period for compliance expires, or
notice of the withdrawal of the stop notice is served under section 41A(7),
Where the listed building enforcement notice to which a stop notice relates is varied so that it no longer relates to any relevant works, the stop notice ceases to have effect in relation to those works.
The reference in subsection (2) to a listed building enforcement notice being varied includes a reference to—
a requirement of such a notice being waived or relaxed by virtue of section 34(7),
the terms of such a notice being varied on appeal by virtue of section 37(2)(a).
Where a stop notice has been served in respect of any listed building the planning authority may publicise it by displaying on the building a notice (in this section and in sections 41E and 76 referred to as a “site notice”)—
stating that a stop notice has been served on a particular person or persons,
indicating its requirements, and
stating that any person contravening it may be prosecuted for an offence under section 41E.
A stop notice is not invalid by reason that a copy of the listed building enforcement notice to which it relates was not served as required by section 34 if it is shown that the planning authority took all such steps as were reasonably practicable to effect proper service.
If it appears to the Scottish Ministers that it is expedient that a stop notice should be served in respect of any building they may themselves serve such a notice under section 41A.
A stop notice served by the Scottish Ministers has the same effect as if it had been served by the planning authority.
The Scottish Ministers must not serve such a notice without consulting the planning authority.
The provisions of this Act relating to stop notices apply, so far as relevant, to a stop notice served by the Scottish Ministers as they apply to a stop notice served by a planning authority, but with the substitution for any reference to the planning authority of a reference to the Scottish Ministers, and any other necessary modifications.
Where a stop notice ceases to have effect a person who, when the notice is first served, has an interest (whether as owner or occupier or otherwise) in the building to which the notice relates is entitled to be compensated by the planning authority in respect of any loss or damage falling within subsection (2).
That is loss or damage directly attributable to—
the prohibition contained in the stop notice or,
in a case within subsection (3)(b), the prohibition of such of the works prohibited by the stop notice as cease to be relevant works.
For the purposes of this section, a stop notice ceases to have effect when—
the listed building enforcement notice is quashed on grounds other than those mentioned in paragraph (e) of section 35(1),
the listed building enforcement notice is varied (otherwise than on the grounds mentioned in that paragraph) so that any works the execution of which are prohibited by the stop notice cease to be relevant works,
the listed building enforcement notice is withdrawn by the planning authority otherwise than in consequence of the grant by them of listed building consent for the works to which the notice relates, or
the stop notice is withdrawn.
The reference in subsection (3)(b) to a listed building enforcement notice being varied includes a reference to—
a requirement of such a notice being waived or relaxed by virtue of section 34(7),
the terms of such a notice being varied on appeal by virtue of section 37(2)(a).
A claim for compensation under this section must be made to the planning authority within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner.
The loss or damage in respect of which compensation is payable under this section in respect of a prohibition includes any sum payable in respect of a breach of contract caused by the taking of action necessary to comply with the prohibition.
No compensation is payable under this section—
in respect of the prohibition in a stop notice of any works which, at any time when the notice is in force, are such as to involve a contravention of section 8(1) or (2), or
in the case of a claimant who was required to provide information under section 272 of the principal Act (power to require information as to interests in land) in respect of any loss or damage suffered by the claimant which could have been avoided if the claimant had provided the information or had otherwise co-operated with the planning authority when responding to the notice.
Except in so far as may be otherwise provided by any regulations made under this Act, any question of disputed compensation under this section is to be referred to and determined by the Lands Tribunal for Scotland.
In relation to the determination of any such question, the provisions of sections 9 (procedure on references under section 8) and 11 (expenses) of the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1963 (c.51) apply subject to any necessary modifications and to the provisions of any regulations made under this Act.
A person who contravenes a stop notice after a site notice has been displayed, or after the stop notice has been served on the person, is guilty of an offence.
Contravention of a stop notice includes causing or permitting its contravention.
An offence under this section may be charged by reference to any day or longer period of time.
A person may, in relation to the same stop notice, be convicted of more than one offence under this section by reference to different days or different periods.
It is a defence in any proceedings under this section that—
the stop notice was not served on the accused, and
the accused had no reasonable cause to believe that the works were prohibited by the stop notice.
A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable—
on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £20,000, and
on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
In determining the amount of the fine, the court is in particular to have regard to any financial benefit which has accrued or appears likely to accrue to the person in consequence of the offence.
Where it appears to the planning authority that— they may, if they consider it expedient to do so having regard to the effect of the works on the character of the building as one of special architectural or historic interest, issue a temporary stop notice.
any works have been, or are being, executed to a listed building in their district,
the works are such as to involve a contravention of section 8(1) or (2), and
it is expedient that the works are (or any part of the works is) stopped immediately,
The notice must be given in writing and must—
specify the works in question,
prohibit execution of the works (or so much of the works as is specified in the notice), and
set out the authority's reasons for issuing the notice.
A temporary stop notice may be served on any of the following—
a person who appears to the authority to be executing, or causing to be executed, the works,
a person who appears to the authority to have an interest in the building (whether as owner or occupier or otherwise).
The authority must display on the building—
a copy of the notice, and
a statement as to the effect of section 41H.
A temporary stop notice has effect from the time a copy of it is first displayed in pursuance of subsection (4).
A temporary stop notice ceases to have effect at the end of the period of 28 days starting on the day the copy notice is so displayed.
But if a shorter period starting on that day is specified in the notice, the notice instead ceases to have effect at the end of that shorter period.
And if the notice is withdrawn by the authority before that period of 28 days (or, as the case may be, that shorter period) expires, the notice ceases to have effect on being so withdrawn.
A temporary stop notice does not prohibit the execution of works (either or both)— as may be prescribed.
of such description,
in such circumstances,
A second or subsequent temporary stop notice must not be issued in respect of the same works unless the planning authority have in the meantime taken some other enforcement action in relation to the contravention of section 8(1) or (2) which is constituted by the works.
In subsection (2), “enforcement action” includes obtaining the grant of an interdict under section 146(2) of the principal Act (interdicts restraining breaches of planning control).
A person who contravenes a temporary stop notice— is guilty of an offence.
which has been served on the person, or
a copy of which has been displayed in pursuance of section 41F(4),
Contravention of a temporary stop notice includes causing or permitting its contravention.
An offence under this section may be charged by reference to a day or to a longer period of time.
A person may, in relation to the same temporary stop notice, be convicted of more than one offence under this section by reference to different days or different periods.
It is a defence in any proceedings under this section that—
the temporary stop notice was not served on the accused, and
the accused did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, of its existence.
A person convicted of an offence under this section is liable—
on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding £20,000,
on conviction on indictment, to a fine.
In determining the amount of the fine, the court is in particular to have regard to any financial benefit which has accrued or appears likely to accrue to the convicted person in consequence of the execution of the works which constituted the offence.
A person who, at the date on which a temporary stop notice is first displayed in pursuance of section 41F(4), has an interest (whether as owner or occupier or otherwise) in the building to which the notice relates is entitled to be compensated by the planning authority in respect of any loss or damage directly attributable to the prohibition effected by that notice.
But subsection (1) applies only if the circumstances are as set out in one or both of the following paragraphs—
the works specified in the notice are authorised by listed building consent granted on or before the date mentioned in that subsection,
the authority withdraws the notice other than following such grant of listed building consent as is mentioned in paragraph (a).
Subsections (5) to (9) of section 41D apply to compensation payable under this section as they apply to compensation payable under that section; and for the purpose of that application the reference in section 41D(7) to a stop notice is to be taken to be a reference to a temporary stop notice.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that reasonable steps are not being taken for properly preserving a listed building, he—
may authorise the planning authority for the district in which the building is situated to acquire compulsorily under this section the building and any relevant land, or
may himself compulsorily acquire them under this section.
The Secretary of State shall not make or confirm a compulsory purchase order for the acquisition of any building by virtue of this section unless he is satisfied that it is expedient to make provision for the preservation of the building and to authorise its compulsory acquisition for that purpose.
The Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947 shall apply to the compulsory acquisition of land under this section and accordingly shall have effect—
as if this section had been in force immediately before the commencement of that Act, and
as if references in it to the Minister of Transport and to the enactments specified in section 1(1)(b) of that Act included respectively references to the Secretary of State and to this section.
Any person having an interest in a building which it is proposed to acquire compulsorily under this section may, within 28 days after the service of the notice required to be served under paragraph 3(b) of Schedule 1 to that Act of 1947, apply to the sheriff for an order prohibiting further proceedings on the compulsory purchase order.
If on an application under subsection (4) the sheriff is satisfied that reasonable steps have been taken for properly preserving the building, he shall make an order accordingly.
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the sheriff on an application under subsection (4) may appeal against the decision to the Court of Session, but only on a question of law.
This section does not permit the acquisition of any interest in Crown land unless—
it is an interest which is for the time being held otherwise than by or on behalf of the Crown, and
the appropriate authority consents to the acquisition.
In this section “relevant land”, in relation to any building, means the land comprising or contiguous or adjacent to it which appears to the Secretary of State to be required for preserving the building or its amenities, or for affording access to it, or for its proper control or management.
The compulsory purchase of a building under section 42 shall not be started by the planning authority or by the Secretary of State unless at least 2 months previously the authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State has served on the owner of the building a notice under this section (in this section referred to as a “repairs notice”)— and the repairs notice has not been withdrawn.
specifying the works which the authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State considers reasonably necessary for the proper preservation of the building, and
explaining the effect of sections 42 to 45,
Where— the demolition of the building shall not prevent the authority or the Secretary of State from being authorised under section 42 to acquire compulsorily the site of the building.
a building is demolished after a repairs notice has been served in respect of it by a planning authority or the Secretary of State, but
the Secretary of State is satisfied that he would have confirmed or, as the case may be, would have made a compulsory purchase order in respect of the building had it not been demolished,
A planning authority or the Secretary of State may at any time withdraw a repairs notice served by them or him on any person and shall, in that event, immediately give him notice of the withdrawal.
Where a repairs notice has been served on a person in respect of a building, he shall not be entitled to serve a listed building purchase notice in respect of it until the expiration of 3 months beginning with the date of the service of the repairs notice or, if during that period the compulsory acquisition of the building is begun under section 42, unless and until the compulsory acquisition is discontinued.
For the purposes of this section a compulsory acquisition—
is started when the planning authority or the Secretary of State, as the case may be, serves the notice required by paragraph 3(b) of Schedule 1 to the Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947, and
is discontinued—
in the case of acquisition by the Secretary of State, when he decides not to make the compulsory purchase order, and
in any other case, where the order is withdrawn or the Secretary of State decides not to confirm it.
Subject to section 45, for the purpose of assessing compensation in respect of any compulsory acquisition of land including a building which immediately before the date of the compulsory purchase order was listed, it shall be assumed that listed building consent would be granted—
for any works for the alteration or extension of the building, or
for the demolition of the building for the purpose of development of any class specified in Schedule 11 to the principal Act (development not constituting new development).
If a planning authority— they may make a direction for minimum compensation.
propose to acquire a building compulsorily under section 42, and
are satisfied that the building has been deliberately allowed to fall into disrepair for the purpose of justifying its demolition and the development or redevelopment of the site or any adjoining site,
Subject to the provisions of this section, if the Secretary of State acquires a building compulsorily under section 42 he may, if he is satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1)(b), include a direction for minimum compensation in the compulsory purchase order.
Without prejudice to so much of paragraph 3(b) of Schedule 1 to the Acquisition of Land (Authorisation Procedure) (Scotland) Act 1947 (notices stating effect of compulsory purchase order or, as the case may be, draft order) as requires the notice to state the effect of the order, the notice required to be served in accordance with that provision shall—
include a statement that the authority have made a direction for minimum compensation or, as the case may be, that the Secretary of State has included such a direction in the draft order prepared by him in accordance with paragraph 7 of that Schedule, and
explain the meaning of the expression “direction for minimum compensation”.
A direction for minimum compensation in relation to a building compulsorily acquired is a direction that for the purpose of assessing compensation it is to be assumed, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1963, the principal Act or this Act—
that planning permission would not be granted for any development or redevelopment of the site of the building, and
that listed building consent would not be granted for any works for the demolition, alteration or extension of the building other than development or works necessary for restoring it to, and maintaining it in, a proper state of repair.
If— the compensation in respect of the compulsory acquisition shall be assessed in accordance with the direction.
a planning authority have made a direction for minimum compensation and the Secretary of State confirms the compulsory purchase order relating to the acquisition of the building in question, or
the Secretary of State, under subsection (2) above, includes such a direction in a compulsory purchase order made by him,
Where a planning authority make a direction for minimum compensation, or the Secretary of State includes such a direction in a draft compulsory purchase order prepared by him, any person having an interest in the building may, within 28 days after the service of the notice mentioned in subsection (3), apply to the sheriff for an order that the planning authority’s direction for minimum compensation be reversed or, as the case may be, that such a direction be not included in the compulsory purchase order as made by the Secretary of State.
If the sheriff is satisfied that the building has not been deliberately allowed to fall into disrepair for the purpose mentioned in subsection (1), he shall make the order applied for.
A person aggrieved by the decision of the sheriff on an application under subsection (6) may appeal against the decision to the Court of Session, but only on a question of law.
The rights conferred by subsections (6) and (8) shall not prejudice those conferred by section 42(4) and (6).
Subject to the provisions of this section, upon the completion by the acquiring authority of a compulsory acquisition of land under section 42—
all private rights of way and rights of laying down, erecting, continuing or maintaining any apparatus on, under or over the land and all other rights or servitudes in or relating to that land shall be extinguished, and
any such apparatus shall vest in the acquiring authority.
Subsection (1) shall not apply to—
any right vested in, or apparatus belonging to, statutory undertakers for the purpose of the carrying on of their undertaking,
any right conferred by or in accordance with the electronic communications code on the operator of an electronic communications code network , or
any electronic communications apparatus kept installed for the purposes of any such network .
In respect of any right or apparatus not falling within subsection (2), subsection (1) shall have effect subject to—
any direction given by the acquiring authority before the completion of the acquisition that subsection (1) shall not apply to any right or apparatus specified in the direction, and
any agreement which may be made (whether before or after the completion of the acquisition) between the acquiring authority and the person in or to whom the right or apparatus in question is vested or belongs.
Any person who suffers loss by the extinguishment of a right or servitude or the vesting of any apparatus under this section shall be entitled to compensation from the acquiring authority.
Any compensation payable under this section shall be determined in accordance with the Land Compensation (Scotland) Act 1963.
A planning authority may acquire by agreement—
any building appearing to them to be of special architectural or historic interest, and
any land comprising or contiguous or adjacent to such a building which appears to them to be required—
for preserving the building or its amenities,
for affording access to it, or
for its proper control or management.
The enactments mentioned in subsection (3) shall apply in relation to the acquisition of land under subsection (1).
Those enactments are—
the Lands Clauses Acts (except the provisions relating to the purchase of land otherwise than by agreement and the provisions relating to access to the special Act, and except sections 120 to 125 of the Lands Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845), and
sections 6 and 70 of the Railways Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Act 1845, and sections 71 to 78 of that Act, as originally enacted and not as amended for certain purposes by section 15 of the Mines (Working Facilities and Support) Act 1923.
For the purposes of the application of those enactments—
this section shall be deemed to be the special Act, and
references to the promoters of the undertaking or to the company shall be construed as references to the authority authorised to acquire the land under this section.
Where a planning authority acquire any building or other land under section 42(1) or 47(1)(a) or (b), they may make such arrangements as to its management, use or disposal as they consider appropriate for the purpose of its preservation.
Where the Secretary of State acquires any building or other land under section 42(1), he may—
make such arrangements as he thinks fit as to the management, custody or use of the building or land, and
dispose of or otherwise deal with any such building or land as he may from time to time determine.
A planning authority may execute any works which appear to them to be urgently necessary for the preservation of a listed building in their district.
The Secretary of State may execute any works which appear to him to be urgently necessary for the preservation of a listed building.
The works which may be executed under this section may consist of or include works for affording temporary support or shelter for the building and preventative works necessary to limit any deterioration of the building .
If the building is occupied works may be carried out only to those parts which are not in use.
The owner of the building shall be given not less than 7 days’ notice in writing of the intention to carry out the works.
The notice shall describe the works proposed to be carried out.
This section has effect for enabling the expenses of works executed under section 49 to be recovered.
The planning authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State may give notice to the owner of the building requiring him to pay the expenses of the works.
Where the works consist of or include works for affording temporary support or shelter for the building—
the expenses which may be recovered include any continuing expenses involved in making available the apparatus or materials used, and
notices under subsection (2) in respect of any such continuing expenses may be given from time to time.
The owner may within 28 days of the service of the notice represent to the Secretary of State— and the Secretary of State shall determine to what extent the representations are justified.
that some or all of the works were unnecessary for the preservation of the building,
in the case of works for affording temporary support or shelter, that the temporary arrangements have continued for an unreasonable length of time, or
that the amount specified in the notice is unreasonable or that the recovery of it would cause him hardship,
The Secretary of State shall give notice of his determination, the reasons for it and the amount recoverable—
to the owner of the building, and
to the planning authority, if they carried out the works.
Where a person to whom notice has been given under subsection (2) ceases, during the 28 day period mentioned in subsection (4), to be the owner of the building, a person may within 28 days of becoming the new owner of the building represent to the Scottish Ministers a matter mentioned in any of paragraphs (a) to (c) of subsection (4); and the Scottish Ministers shall determine to what extent the representations are justified.
Subsection (5) applies to a determination under subsection (6) as it applies to a determination under subsection (4).
A local authority may contribute towards the expenses incurred or to be incurred in the repair or maintenance—
of a listed building which is situated in or in the vicinity of their area, or
of a building in their area which is not listed but appears to them to be of architectural or historic interest.
At the time of making such a contribution the local authority may also contribute towards the expenses incurred, or to be incurred, in the upkeep of any garden occupied with the building and contiguous or adjacent to it.
A contribution under this section may be made by grant or loan.
A contribution by way of loan may be made upon such terms and conditions as the local authority may determine including (but without prejudice to the foregoing) a term that the loan shall be free of interest.
A local authority—
may renounce their right to repayment of such a loan or any interest for the time being outstanding, and
by agreement with the borrower may otherwise vary any of the terms and conditions on which such a loan is made.
A local authority may require as a condition of the making by them of a contribution under this section by way of grant towards the expenses of the repair or maintenance or upkeep of any property that the person to whom the grant is made shall enter into an agreement with them for the purpose of enabling the public to have access to the property or part of it during such period and at such times as the agreement may provide.
If, during the period of 3 years beginning with the day on which a grant is made under section 51 towards the repair or maintenance or upkeep of any property (“the grant property”), the grantee disposes of the interest held by him in the property on that day or any part of that interest, by way of sale or excambion or lease for a term of not less than 21 years, the local authority may recover the amount of the grant, or such part of it as they think fit, from the grantee.
If the grantee gives the whole of that interest to any person (whether directly or indirectly, but otherwise than by will) subsection (1) shall have effect as if the donee were the grantee.
If the grantee gives part of that interest to any person (whether directly or indirectly, but otherwise than by will) subsection (1) shall have effect as if any disposal or part disposal of that interest by the donee were a disposal by the grantee.
If any condition imposed on the making of a grant to which this section applies is contravened or not complied with, the local authority may recover the amount of the grant, or such part of it as they think fit, from the grantee.
Nothing in this section entitles a local authority to recover amounts in the aggregate exceeding the amount of the grant (for example by virtue of a breach of more than one condition or disposals of several parts of an interest in the grant property).
If, with the intention of causing damage to a listed building, any relevant person does or permits the doing of any act which causes or is likely to result in damage to the building, he shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
A person is a relevant person for the purpose of subsection (1) if apart from that subsection he would be entitled to do or permit the act in question.
Subsection (1) does not apply to an act for the execution of works—
authorised by planning permission granted or deemed to be granted in pursuance of an application under the principal Act, or
for which listed building consent has been given under this Act.
If a person convicted of an offence under this section fails to take such reasonable steps as may be necessary to prevent any damage or further damage resulting from the offence, he shall be guilty of a further offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding one-tenth of level 3 on the standard scale for each day on which the failure continues.
Every planning authority shall—
from time to time determine which parts of their district are areas of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance, and
designate such areas as conservation areas.
The Secretary of State may from time to time, after consultation with a planning authority, determine that any part of the authority’s district which is not for the time being designated as a conservation area is an area of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance; and, if he so determines, he may designate that part as a conservation area.
A planning authority shall give notice to the Secretary of State of the designation of any part of their district as a conservation area under section 61(1), and of any variation or cancellation of any such designation.
The Secretary of State shall give notice to a planning authority of the designation of any part of their district as a conservation area under section 61(2), and of any variation or cancellation of any such designation.
A notice under subsection (1) or (2) shall contain sufficient particulars to identify the area affected.
Notice of any such designation, variation or cancellation, with particulars of its effect, shall be published in the Edinburgh Gazette and in at least one newspaper circulating in the district of the planning authority by that authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State.
Every planning authority shall compile and keep available for public inspection free of charge at reasonable hours and at a convenient place a list containing such particulars as the Secretary of State may determine of any part of their district which has been designated as a conservation area.
It shall be the duty of a planning authority to formulate and publish, from time to time, proposals for the preservation and enhancement of any parts of their district which are conservation areas.
Proposals under this section shall be submitted for consideration to a public meeting in the area to which they relate.
The planning authority shall have regard to any views concerning the proposals expressed by persons attending the meeting.
In the exercise, with respect to any buildings or other land in a conservation area, of any powers under any of the provisions in subsection (2), special attention shall be paid to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of that area.
Those provisions are—
the planning Acts, and
Part I of the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monuments Act 1953.
This section applies where an application for planning permission for any development of land is made to a planning authority and the development would, in the opinion of the authority, affect the character or appearance of a conservation area.
The planning authority shall— a notice indicating the nature of the development in question and naming a place within the locality where a copy of the application, and of all plans and other documents submitted with it, will be open to inspection by the public at all reasonable hours during the period of 21 days beginning with the date of publication of the notice under paragraph (a).
publish in a local newspaper circulating in the locality in which the land is situated, and
for not less than 7 days display on or near the land,
The application shall not be determined by the planning authority before both the following periods have elapsed, namely—
the period of 21 days referred to in subsection (2), and
the period of 21 days beginning with the date on which the notice required by that subsection to be displayed was first displayed.
In determining any application for planning permission to which this section applies, the planning authority shall take into account any representations relating to the application which are received by them before the periods mentioned in subsection (3) have elapsed.
In this section references to planning permission do not include references to planning permission falling within section 33(1) of the principal Act.
A building in a conservation area shall not be demolished without the consent of the appropriate authority (in this Act referred to as “conservation area consent”).
The appropriate authority for the purposes of this section is—
in relation to applications for consent made by planning authorities, the Secretary of State, and
in relation to other applications, the planning authority or the Secretary of State.
The following provisions of this Act, namely— sections 6 to 25, sections 28 to 41, sections 56 to 58, section 59(1), section 73(2) to (4), section 74(1)(b), (3) and (4), and section 80(2), shall have effect in relation to buildings in conservation areas as they have effect in relation to listed buildings subject to such exceptions and modifications as may be prescribed by regulations.
Any such regulations may make different provision in relation to—
applications made by planning authorities, and
other applications.
Section 66 does not apply to—
listed buildings,
ecclesiastical buildings which are for the time being used for ecclesiastical purposes,
buildings for the time being included in the Schedule of monuments compiled and maintained under section 1 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979, or
buildings in relation to which a direction under subsection (2) is for the time being in force.
The Secretary of State may direct that section 66 shall not apply to any description of buildings specified in the direction.
A direction under subsection (2) may be given either to an individual planning authority or to planning authorities generally.
The Secretary of State may vary or revoke a direction under subsection (2) by a further direction under that subsection.
For the purposes of subsection (1)(b), a building used or available for use by a minister of religion wholly or mainly as a residence from which to perform the duties of his office shall be treated as not being an ecclesiastical building.
For the purposes of sections 6 to 8 as they apply by virtue of section 66(3) a building shall be taken to be used for the time being for ecclesiastical purposes if it would be so used but for the works in question.
The Secretary of State may by order provide for restricting or excluding the operation of subsection (1)(b) in such cases as may be specified in the order.
An order under subsection (7) may—
make provision for buildings generally, for descriptions of building or for particular buildings;
make different provision for buildings in different areas, for buildings of different religious faiths or denominations or according to the use made of the building;
make such provision in relation to a part of a building (including, in particular, an object or structure falling to be treated as part of the building by virtue of section 1(4)) as may be made in relation to a building and make different provision for different parts of the same building;
make different provision with respect to works of different descriptions or according to the extent of the works;
make such consequential adaptations or modifications of the operation of any other provision of this Act or the principal Act, or of any instrument made under either of those Acts, as appear to the Secretary of State to be appropriate.
Subsections (7) and (8) are without prejudice to the Church of Scotland Act 1921.
Any proceedings on or arising out of an application for conservation area consent made while section 66 applies to a building shall lapse when it ceases to apply to it, and any such consent granted with respect to the building shall also lapse.
The fact that that section has ceased to apply to a building shall not affect the liability of any person to be prosecuted and punished for an offence under section 8 or 39 committed with respect to the building while that section did apply to it.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that the preservation of a building in a conservation area is important for maintaining the character or appearance of that area, he may direct that section 49 shall apply to it as it applies to listed buildings.
If in the opinion of the Secretary of State any conservation area is an area of outstanding architectural or historic interest, he may make grants or loans for the purpose of defraying in whole or in part any expenditure incurred or to be incurred in or in connection with, or with a view to the promotion of, the preservation or enhancement of the character or appearance of the area or any part of it.
A grant or loan under this section may be made subject to such conditions as the Secretary of State may think fit to impose.
Any loan under this section shall be made on such terms as to repayment, payment of interest and otherwise as the Secretary of State may with the approval of the Treasury determine.
Unless the making of a grant or loan under this section appears to the Secretary of State to be a matter of immediate urgency, before making the grant or loan the Secretary of State shall consult the Historic Buildings Council for Scotland as to its making and the conditions subject to which it should be made.
The Secretary of State may pay such remuneration and allowances as he may with the approval of the Treasury determine to any member of the Council by whom services are rendered in connection with any question as to the exercise of his powers under this section.
If any such member is also a member of the House of Commons, those payments shall extend only to allowances in respect of travelling and subsistence expenses, and any other expenses necessarily incurred by that member in connection with those services.
This section applies to any grant under section 69 made on terms that it shall be recoverable under this section.
A grant shall be regarded as made on those terms only if before or on making the grant the Secretary of State gives to the grantee notice in writing—
summarising the effect of this section, and
if the grant is made for the purpose of defraying the whole or part of expenditure in relation to any particular property (“the grant property”), specifying the recovery period.
In this section “the recovery period” means the period, beginning with the day on which the grant is made and ending not more than 10 years after that day, during which the grant is recoverable in accordance with subsection (4).
If during the recovery period the grantee disposes of the interest which was held by him in the grant property on the day on which the grant was made or any part of that interest by way of sale or excambion or lease for a term of not less than 21 years, the Secretary of State may recover the amount of the grant, or such part of it as he thinks fit, from the grantee.
If the grantee gives the whole of that interest to any person (whether directly or indirectly, but otherwise than by will) subsection (4) shall have effect as if the donee were the grantee.
If the grantee gives part of that interest to any person (whether directly or indirectly but otherwise than by will) subsection (4) shall have effect as if any disposal or part disposal of that interest by the donee were a disposal by the grantee.
If any condition imposed on the making of a grant to which this section applies is contravened or not complied with, the Secretary of State may recover the amount of the grant, or such part of it as he thinks fit, from the grantee.
Nothing in this section entitles the Secretary of State to recover amounts in the aggregate exceeding the amount of the grant (for example by virtue of a breach of more than one condition or disposals of several parts of an interest in the grant property).
The Secretary of State and a local authority may enter an agreement (in this Act referred to as a “town scheme agreement”) that a specified sum of money shall be set aside for a specified period of years for the purpose of making grants for the repair of the buildings which are—
included in a list compiled for the purposes of such an agreement by the Secretary of State and the authority, or
shown on a map prepared by them for those purposes.
Before such a list is compiled or such a map is prepared the Secretary of State and the local authority concerned shall consult the Historic Buildings Council for Scotland.
The Secretary of State may make grants for the purpose of defraying the whole or part of any expenditure incurred or to be incurred in the repair of any building which—
is the subject of a town scheme agreement, and

in default of agreement shall be determined in a similar manner to that in which that compensation would be determined, and
that offer has been refused by the appropriate authority.

The Secretary of State may by regulations—

any of the statutory provisions referred to in subsection (2), and
any other statutory provisions,
make provision for requiring a planning authority to be notified of any disposal of, or of an interest in, any Crown land in respect of which an application has been made by virtue of this section, and
make such other provision in relation to the making and determination of applications by virtue of this section as he thinks necessary or expedient.
This section shall not be construed as affecting any right to apply for any listed building consent or conservation area consent in respect of Crown land in a case in which such an application can be made by virtue of a private interest in the land.
A person who is entitled to occupy Crown land by virtue of a contract in writing shall be treated for the purpose of this section as having an interest in land and references to the disposal or grant of an interest in Crown land and to a private interest in such land shall be construed accordingly.

In the case of a building to which paragraph 1 applies—
a notice of appeal under section 18 may include a claim that the Secretary of State should give a direction under paragraph 2 with respect to the building and on such an appeal the Secretary of State may give such a direction; and

the expiry of the 6 months period mentioned in subsection (3)(b) of section 3; or
the service of a notification by the Secretary of State under subsection (4)(b) of that section.
The fact that the notice has ceased to be in force shall not affect the liability of any person to be prosecuted and punished for an offence under section 8 or 39 committed by him with respect to the building while it was in force.
Any proceedings on or arising out of an application for listed building consent with respect to the building made while the notice was in force and any such consent granted while it was in force shall lapse.
Any listed building enforcement notice served by the planning authority while the building preservation notice was in force shall cease to have effect. Any proceedings on it under sections 34 to 37 shall lapse. Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (1), section 38(1) and (2) shall continue to have effect as respects any expenses incurred by the planning authority, owner, lessee or occupier as mentioned in that section and with respect to any sums paid on account of such expenses.
Sections 20(4) and 35(5).
The Secretary of State may by regulations prescribe classes of appeals under sections 18 and 35 which are to be determined by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for the purpose instead of by the Secretary of State. Those classes of appeals shall be so determined except in such classes of case— Such regulations may provide for the giving of publicity to any directions given by the Secretary of State under this paragraph. This paragraph shall not affect any provision contained in this Act or any instrument made under it that an appeal shall lie to, or a notice of appeal shall be served on, the Secretary of State. A person appointed under this paragraph is referred to in this Schedule as an “appointed person”.
An appointed person shall have the same powers and duties— Sections 20(2) and 36(2) shall not apply to an appeal which falls to be determined by an appointed person, but before it is determined the Secretary of State shall ask the appellant and the planning authority whether they wish to appear before and be heard by the appointed person. If both the parties express a wish not to appear and be heard, the appeal may be determined without their being heard. If either of the parties expresses a wish to appear and be heard, the appointed person shall give them both an opportunity of doing so. Where an appeal has been determined by an appointed person, his decision shall be treated as that of the Secretary of State. Except as provided by sections 57 and 58, the decision of an appointed person on any appeal shall be final.
The Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, direct that an appeal which would otherwise fall to be determined by an appointed person shall instead be determined by the Secretary of State. Such a direction shall state the reasons for which it is given and shall be served on the appellant, the planning authority, any person who made representations relating to the subject matter of the appeal which the authority are required to take into account by regulations made under section 10(2) and, if any person has been appointed under paragraph 1, on him. Where in consequence of such a direction an appeal under section 18 or 35 falls to be determined by the Secretary of State himself, the provisions of this Act which are relevant to the appeal shall, subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, apply to the appeal as if this Schedule had never applied to it. The Secretary of State shall give the appellant, the planning authority and any person who has made such representations as are referred to in sub-paragraph (2) an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed by the Secretary of State for that purpose if— Except as provided by sub-paragraph (4), the Secretary of State need not give any person an opportunity of appearing before and being heard by a person appointed for the purpose, or of making fresh representations or making or withdrawing any representations already made. In determining the appeal the Secretary of State may take into account any report made to him by any person previously appointed to determine it.
The Secretary of State may by a further direction revoke a direction under paragraph 3 at any time before the determination of the appeal. Such a further direction shall state the reasons for which it is given and shall be served on the person, if any, previously appointed to determine the appeal, the appellant, the planning authority and any person who has made representations relating to the subject matter of the appeal which the authority are required to take into account by regulations made under section 10(2). Where such a further direction has been given, the provisions of this Schedule relevant to the appeal shall apply, subject to sub-paragraph (4), as if no direction under paragraph 3 had been given. Anything done by or on behalf of the Secretary of State in connection with the appeal which might have been done by the appointed person (including any arrangements made for the holding of a hearing or local inquiry) shall, unless that person directs otherwise, be treated as having been done by him.
At any time before the appointed person has determined the appeal the Secretary of State may— Where such a new appointment is made the consideration of the appeal or any inquiry or other hearing in connection with it shall be begun afresh. Nothing in sub-paragraph (2) shall require—
Whether or not the parties to an appeal have asked for an opportunity to appear and be heard, an appointed person— Where an appointed person— an assessor may be appointed by the Secretary of State to sit with the appointed person at the hearing or inquiry to advise him on any matters arising, notwithstanding that the appointed person is to determine the appeal. Subject to sub-paragraph (4), the expenses of any such hearing or inquiry shall be paid by the Secretary of State. Subsections (4) to (13) of section 265 of the principal Act apply to an inquiry held under this paragraph as they apply to an inquiry held under that section. The appointed person has the same power to make orders under subsection (9) of that section in relation to proceedings under this Schedule which do not give rise to an inquiry as he has in relation to such an inquiry. For the purposes of this paragraph, references to the Minister in subsections (9) and (12) of that section shall be read as references to the appointed person.
The Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1992 shall apply to a local inquiry or other hearing held in pursuance of this Schedule as it applies to a statutory inquiry held by the Secretary of State, but as if in section 10(1) of that Act (statement of reasons for decisions) the reference to any decision taken by the Secretary of State were a reference to a decision taken by an appointed person. The functions of determining an appeal and doing anything in connection with it conferred by this Schedule on an appointed person who is an officer of the Scottish Office shall be treated for the purposes of the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 as functions of that office.
