Request 101003875254

1.  If your Council has a Conservation and Design team of any description, that is consulted on planning applications involving constraints such as listed buildings and conservation areas, and what this team is called.

2.  If ‘yes’, what training or qualifications, if any, are prerequisites for an officer working in this team.

3.  If it is disclosable, if I could please have an email address for this team, as I would like to send a short survey related to my dissertation some time next summer for any officers who might be interested in completing it.

There is no dedicated team for this function, Moray being such a small planning authority. All Development Management Officers deal with listed building consents, Conservation Area consents etc. All the planning officers in this wider team are Members of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI), with one member of staff working towards her Associate membership of the RTPI.
