Making a statement
Guild, A.
Making a statement - 2002 - Scottish Planner (90) December 2002, 10(1) .
Discusses the importance of design in shaping rural communities in Scotland. Reports published in the 1990s found that poorly designed developments could damage the character of villages and evoke negative reactions from the community. In 1998 the Rural Design Group was set up by Rural Scotland to tackle this problem, and a pilot project in Tarland, Aberdeenshire, was launched using the Village Design Statements (VDS) model. The VDS for Tarland was prepared by an architect after consultation with local residents, and included business, tourism and community developments in addition to housing. Also looks at the proposed survey and VDS for the Angus village of Edzell, the results of which will be fed into the revised Angus Local Plan.
