Location
The Park Conservation Area is located to the west of Glasgow city centre. It is bounded to the south by Gray Street, Derby Terrace Lane through to Fitzroy Lane, Sandyford Place Lane through Elderslie Street and along Kent Road. To the north it is bounded by the River Kelvin and Eldon Street, to the east by Woodlands Road and North Street/Motorway and to the west by the western boundary of Kelvingrove Park and a short stretch of Dumbarton Road which becomes Argyle Street returning into Sauchiehall Street.
Definition of a Conservation Area
Conservation areas were first introduced by the Civic Amenities Act 1967. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Area) (Scotland) Act 1997 provides the current
legislative framework for the designation of conservation areas.
A conservation area is defined in the Act as “an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”.
All planning authorities are required by this Act to determine which parts of their area merits conservation area status. Glasgow currently has 25 Conservation areas varying in character from the city centre and Victorian residential suburbs to a rural village and former country estate.
What Does Conservation Area Status Mean?
In a conservation area it is both the buildings and the spaces between them that are of architectural or historic interest. Planning control is therefore directed at maintaining the integrity of the entire area and enhancing its special character. Conservation area
status does not mean that new development is unacceptable, but care must be taken to ensure that the new development will not harm the character or appearance of the area.
Under current legislation, conservation area designation automatically brings the following works under planning control:
● Demolitionofbuildings
● Removalof,orworkto,trees
● Developmentinvolvingsmallhouse extensions, roof alterations, stone cleaning or painting of the exterior, window replacement, provision o f hard sur faces, works to boundaries and additional control with respect to satellite dishes.
Where a development would, in the opinion of the planning authority, affect the character or appearance of a conservation area, the application for planning permission will be advertised in the local press providing

an opportunity for public comment. Views expressed on material planning grounds are taken into account by the local planning authority when making a decision on the application.
In order to protect the conservation areas, designation requires the City Council to formulate and publish proposals for their preservation and enhancement.
Local residents and property owners also have a major role to play in protecting and enhancing the character and appearance of the conservation area by ensuring that properties are regularly maintained and original features retained.
Purpose of a Conservation Area Appraisal
Conservation area designation should be regarded as the first positive step towards an area’s protection and enhancement.
Planning authorit ies and the Scottish Government are required by law to protect conservation areas from development which would be detrimental to their character. It is
necessary therefore for planning authorities, residents and property owners to be aware of the key features which together create the area’s special character and appearance.
The purpose of this conservation area appraisal is to define what is important about the character and appearance of the area; to identify its important characteristics and ensure that there is a full understanding of what is worthy of preservation. It identifies the area’s special features and changing needs through a process which includes researching its historical development, carrying out a detailed townscape analysis and preparing a character assessment.
Conservation area appraisals provide an opportunity to reassess current boundaries, to make certain that they accurately reflect what is of special interest and ensure that they are logically drawn. This document will provide a framework for the controlled and positive management of change in the Park Conservation Area and form a material consideration in planning decisions in the area. It will also identify opportunities
and prior i t ies for enhancement. The Conservation Area Appraisal will be regarded as supplementary to the policies set out in the City Development Plan (2017) and will have the status of ‘material consideration’ in the assessment of development proposals.
I t is recognised that the successful management of conservation areas can only be achieved with support and input from stakeholders, and in particular local residents and property owners.
Designation
Glasgow District Council originally approved the designation of the Park Conservation Area in September 1970, with the boundary initially extended in 1982. A further extension in 1990 facilitated the inclusion of the whole of Kelvingrove Park and parts of Gray Street, Bentinck Street, Derby Street, Sauchiehall Street, Kelvingrove Street and Eldon Street.

Medieval History
During Medieval times the area was characterised by estates flanking the River Kelvin, with agricultural uses and woodlands. The River Kelvin was also noted for its mills and early records show these present during the mid-1500s.There was a snuff mill at Clayslaps, where the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is now located.
18th Century
As trade brought prosperity to the city, wealthy industrialists purchased country estates outwith the then city boundaries in the area now known as Park. Glasgow Provost Patrick Colquhoun (1745-1820), a wealthy tobacco lord, purchased an estate near the Kelvin and built Kelvingrove House in 1782 as a country seat. Part of these estates form the basis of the present Kelvingrove Park and the area was noted for its woodland or sylvan character. Present day Woodlands Terrace is believed to have been named after the late 18th Century home of James McNayr, LLD, the first editor of the Glasgow Herald, called ‘Woodlands’ which once sat at the top of Woodlands Hill – near the western end of the current gardens within Park Circus.

19th Century
During this century Glasgow expanded westwards. Work began on the buildings in this area in the early 1830s. Woodside Crescent and the more gentle eastern and southern slopes of Woodlands Hill were laid out. Unfortunately, the exact chronology of subsequent developments is unclear.
During the early to mid-nineteenth century the then town council bought the estates of Kelvingrove and Woodlands, as well as parts of other estates such as Clairmont and Woodside. In the 1850’s, Charles Wilson (1810-1863) was commissioned by the City to produce a few plan to complete the development at Park. The design of Park Circus was based on geometric principles culminating in an oval area of private amenity space with residential terraces which have regular plot patterns and a central axis through the development. The residential layout reflected a feuing pattern which allowed for terraced town houses facing each other across areas of communal garden. Along with Wilson’s plans for Woodlands Hill, Sir Joseph Paxton was commissioned in 1854 to lay out a new park.
The remainder of the former mature wooded estates along the River Kelvin then became Kelvingrove Park, known also as the West End Park. It was laid out between 1852 and 1867. This Sir Joseph Paxton designed landscape is a classic example of a Victorian park. Its design and setting on the banks of the River Kelvin enhance and compliment the many magnificent buildings which surround it, in particular the world renowned Art Gallery and Museum which is prominently featured within it. Also of historical note from this period was the abandoned proposal to relocate Glasgow University to Woodlands Hill in the 1840s to facilitate the development of a railway terminus at High Street by the Glasgow, Airdrie and Monklands Junction Railway Company.
The Park was added to in the 1870s and the Stewart Memorial Fountain built in 1872 in commemoration of the introduction of a water supply from Loch Katrine into the city. During this period the former Kelvingrove House became Glasgow’s first public museum. Bowling greens, pathways, fountains, bridges, monuments, pavilions, bandstands, amphitheatre, ponds and ornamental gardens were all developed in the Park. Further building of tenement properties, rather than terraces, took place as the city expanded west and south.
1900 - Present
Relatively little development has occurred in the area during the twentieth century and the early part of the twenty-first century. The present art gallery and museum was built at Kelvingrove on the Clayslaps lands for the 1901 International Exhibition, replacing Kelvingrove House which was subsequently demolished. Some other buildings were built for the exhibition but of these only the Sunlight Cottages survive.
Within the areas built since the 1830s some buildings have been lost due to redevelopment and the sites rebuilt on an infill basis. While some redensification has taken place with mews development within rear gardens, fronting lanes, some sites remain vacant. In particular the site at Park Quadrant which was originally feued for housing but not developed. A recent Planning Application has however been approved and works are on site for a residential development.
The Kelvingrove Park bandstand was erected in the 1920s and continued in operation until the late 1990s. Recently the bandstand was brought back into use as a venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Thereafter the property has continued to operate as a live music and events venue. During the 1960s the nave of Park Church was demolished and an office development erected. The tower of the church remains as a landmark at the top of Lynedoch Street.

Topography
Woodlands Hill is a drumlin feature and this helps determine the special character of the townscape. The ground slopes steeply away to the valley of the River Kelvin in the west. To the north, south and east the slopes of the drumlin are more gradual. The southern slopes become almost level south of the Park and the terraces off Sauchiehall Street.
Gateways
There are several identifiable gateways into the area. One of the main gateways into Kelvingrove Park is formed by the tree lined Kelvin Way which bisects the Park from Gibson Street in the north to Sauchiehall Street and the Kelvin Way Bridge in the south. The Partick Bridge entrance to the Park also forms a gateway from the west. The main gateway into the heart of the built up area of Park Circus is from Lynedoch Street in the east, although there are others to the north and east. There is further gateway into the area from Charing Cross where it meets Sauchiehall Street and from the Eldon Street entrance to Kelvingrove Park to the north of the area.
Conservation Area Boundaries and Edges
The edge of Kelvingrove Park forms a strong boundary to the north, west and southwest. Towards the south the boundary becomes less coherent and more fragmented as it encounters various tenements and terraces. To the east there is a clear edge along Woodlands Road. Street Pattern
The street pattern reflects the early importance of Sauchiehall Street as a route to the west. Early terraces to the north followed the contours of the drumlin to create an oval “circus” on the hilltop. The contours similarly influenced a grid iron layout on the lower slopes characterised by long sweeping terraces running east/west. This is especially apparent in the terraces north and south of Sauchiehall Street.
Plot Pattern
Within the built up area, plot patterns are very regular and are based on geometric principles. Where redevelopment has taken place, original plot patterns have not been respected and generally such plots have been enlarged.

PARK
Open Space
Parks, pleasure gardens and open space are very significant features of the Park Conservation Area. Kelvingrove Park (formerly known as the West End Park) covers an extensive area from the edge of Park Terrace to the west of the River Kelvin, where it meets the campus of Glasgow University. Kelvingrove Park is designated as a Garden and Designed Landscape (listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland by Historic Environment Scotland) and in the City Development Plan as a Site of Special Landscape Importance.
The majority of the terraces along Sauchiehall Street have landscaped areas with mature trees fronting the pavement. Terraces built stepping up the hill are laid out with pleasure gardens between, which are predominantly for the private use of residents/occupiers. Other areas of public open space include Derby Street / Kelvingrove Street (previously the site of a church and developed as a community space known as ‘Kelvingrove Square’), an area to the east of Kelvingrove Park (Cliff Road/ Park Drive), and the bowling greens in the Park that face Sauchiehall Street, and also fronting Woodlands Road.
Circulation and Permeability
The area enjoys significant permeability for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. There is a network of formal pedestrian pathways through Kelvingrove Park to civic buildings, park features and other parts of the conservation area, as well as connecting to adjacent areas. In addition Charles Wilson’s plan for the area included magnificent stairways connecting the top of the hill to the lower terraces. This also increases permeability for pedestrians within the built up area and is further enhanced by lanes to the rear of most of the terraces. Those fronting
Sauchiehall Street however have access roads only, set back from the main thoroughfare. Roads are wide with high kerbs, having originally been used for carriages. A traffic management scheme is in place which controls parking but also restricts traffic circulation.
Views
The contrasting heights within the conservation area make for spectacular views both within and through the conservation area itself as well as views towards the area looking from afar. The Trinity Towers and the tower of the former Park Church form a landmark feature and coupled with the roofline of Park Circus contributes to what has been termed the Park area’s “ remarkable silhouette”. There are also notable views from Park Circus to Glasgow University and vice versa plus an important vista along Kelvingrove Street towards the Park gates. Views from the top of the hill at Park Circus give panoramas across the City and along with those iconic landmark buildings which give the silhouette; views are one of the major identifying features of the Park Conservation Area.
Activities/Uses
When built, the terraces within the eastern part of this area were used as residential townhouses. Subsequently this character changed and the area developed a mixture of uses including offices, institutional uses and hotels. Over the last decade there has been a move away from such uses in the area and a return to housing. While a few single original town houses remain in residential use, with some more recently converted back to single dwellings, the properties have become typified by subdivision into flatted property. Elsewhere tenement properties have tended to retain their traditional mix of residential accommodation on upper floors and commercial, retail, restaurant and public house uses on

the ground floors. In addition, some of Glasgow’s main civic and cultural buildings are located in this area including Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery and the Mitchell Library. A substantial part of the area is open space comprising areas for both public and private use.
Architectural Character
The area is predominantly characterised by magnificent terraces and crescents listed either Category A or B, areas of tenements, important civic buildings and a designed park landscape with a rich heritage of park buildings, statues and fountains within its boundaries. There is a limited palette of materials throughout the buildings which lends a unity to the architecture of the area. The architecture and layout of the Woodlands Hill development, and particularly Charles Wilson’s work in the terraces around Park Circus, form one of the most outstanding pieces of townscape design in Scotland. Park is hence considered to be one of the most significant Conservation Areas in the country.
The centrepiece of this area of outstanding architecture and early town planning is Park Circus. Curving terraces form a flattened concave oval around a central communal pleasure garden. They are predominantly three storey with basements and attics. The proportions of the terraces are stately and of Georgian style, but the detailing was innovative and reflected the Victorian period. The ground floor level has details such as alternating bands of plain and vermiculated stonework, varied to emphasise windows, keystones above doors, narrow windows on either side of the door and sash and case windows with the upper portion smaller than the lower one. Park Circus has three points of access or gateways. Park Gate is formed by end pavilions of terraces facing each other across the street with traditional mews properties fronting the lanes to the rear of the terraces. Park Circus Place is formed by terraces facing each other however this breaks with the site of the former Park Church. Only the tower of the Church remains, having been incorporated into a commercial building which was later reclad and included in a residential conversion. Park Street South is also defined by end pavilions from the terraces.
Surrounding Park Circus are a series of other terraces, which due to their elevated position are visible from many vantage points across the city. Park Terrace, which was built before Park Circus, is convex in character reflecting the contour at the top of the hill. It enjoys uninterrupted views across Kelvingrove Park and similarly enjoys the greatest visibility from the west. This is enhanced by its scale and the design of the roofs in particular. Unlike Park Circus where the character of the terraces is more classical and unified, Park Terrace is more Victorian in character and is more exuberant in its detailing. The roofs are reflective of French pavilions with high, strong almost mansard profiles, curved dormers, decorative metalwork and rhythm of different heights. The vertical emphasis of the facades is accentuated by two storey bay windows. The other outer terraces on the hill top such as Park Quadrant are straighter, with more uniform facades and rooflines, but responding to the topography by stepping down the hill.
The earliest terrace was Woodside Crescent, designed by George Smith. The terrace steps northward up the hill, curving west into Woodside Terrace. Further west again, Claremont Terrace was built in 1842 as wings to a mansion built by John Baird. These terraces are characterised by end and middle pavilions with fluted columns and porticos to entrances. Pavilions have double sets of columns with carved stonework and balustrades. Claremont Terrace has decorative wrought iron railings above the porticos. Entrances with columns and porticos are present on some, but not all, terraces. Some terraces such as Lynedoch Crescent have porticos on the taller buildings within the terrace.
Many of these stone buildings have been painted in the past, predominantly in shades of off-white cream. This has affected the character and has in some cases contributed to damage to the stonework. Generally the roofs have retained their original natural Scottish slate finish albeit a few roofs have been tiled using modern roof tiles.
Possibly the most important architectural characteristics of this area, in terms of their contribution to the city’s skyline, are the three towers of the former Free Church College which was designed by Charles

PARK
Wilson together with the tower of the former Park Church. Woodlands Parish Church also contributes but sits at the bottom of the hill to the north. These are important landmarks for the City.
In this area there are important cultural and civic buildings which contribute to the richness of the architectural quality of the area such as the Mitchell Library (incorporating the former St. Andrew’s Halls), Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the former Queen’s Rooms at La Belle Place, and the various listed buildings, statues and fountains within Kelvingrove Park.
Also contributing to the architectural character are the steps linking the different levels of terraces. These are separately listed structures, and formed part of Charles Wilson’s overall design concept. Some of the steps are in natural stone, some are granite. Stone balustrades are unifying features and some flights are straight, others such as the Clifton Steps are designed to lead from one flight into two.
There have been a few modern interventions on gap sites or redevelopment of existing buildings. Some of these detract from the quality of architecture in the area.

Landscape and Trees
These are vital and very significant elements of Park Conservation Area. Mature trees are present in all parks, pleasure gardens, and incidental areas of open space whether private or public making a fundamental contribution to the area’s character. Kelvingrove Park is designated as a Garden and Designed Landscape (listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland by Historic Environment Scotland), in the City Development Plan as a Site of Special Landscape Importance and is integral to the character of the Conservation Area. The following designations also apply:
1. Ancient, Long-Established or Semi- Natural Woodland (SNH); woodland below the university on northern bank of River Kelvin. (Kelvingrove Woodland). 2. Site of Importance for Nature Conservation; River Kelvin and its banks. (River Kelvin).
3. Green Corridor; River Kelvin (River Kelvin)
4. Sites of Special Landscape Importance, Parkland, (Kelvingrove Park).
5. Open Space - (Park Quadrant (North of)), (Park Drive), (Woodlands Road). 6. Communal/Pleasure Gardens - (Park Circus),(Woodlands Terrace),(Lynedoch Street),Clairmont Gardens, (Claremont Pass (Triangle), (Woodside Place) (Royal Crescent), (Clifton Place), (Sandyford Place), (Somerset Place), (Newton Terrace), (Newton Place).
The River Kelvin acts as a major arterial route through the city for people and wildlife connecting with the larger Green Network of the city, including open spaces, parks, the Forth and Clyde Canal and the River Clyde.
Condition
The buildings and gardens within the conservation area are generally well maintained. There is limited evidence of traditional materials being replaced with inappropriate modern materials including tiled roofs and upvc windows. Historic painting of properties is present which may result in damage to fabric – as can unregulated stone cleaning and repair. In particular the use of inappropriate render repair mediums can be damaging to stonework.

Listed Buildings
Buildings that are “listed” have already been assessed by Historic Environment Scotland as being of special architectural or historic interest and are included on the Scottish Ministers statutory list.
There are many fine listed buildings in Park Conservation Area, which are described in the Architectural Character section of this Appraisal. Listed buildings contribute posi t ively to the appearance of the conservation area, provide points of interest and enrich the areas special character.
Unlisted Buildings of Townscape Merit
There are very few buildings which are not listed within Park Conservation Area. However, of those that are not listed many make a positive, visual contribution to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area. These include the unlisted tenement buildings in the western portion of the Conservation Area around Bentinck Street. These properties help to define the historic street pattern of Park and are integral to the character of the Conservation Area. These are not landmark buildings however they are component parts of the planned residential suburb which unify the townscape in terms of their age, height, building line and palette of materials.
Also of note is the 1970s extension to the Mitchell Library which is a high quality piece of architecture that has been carefully designed to fit its surroundings and echo the architecture of St Andrews Hall. It should be noted however that buildings not identified as being of townscape importance are still likely to make some contribution to the character of the area and therefore proposals for their replacement require to be adequately justified.
Key Features and Key Challenges
Having carried out a detailed assessment of buildings and areas it is now possible to identify:-
The Key Features - which define the special architectural and historic character of the area and
The Key Challenges - inappropriate elements which detract from the character and appearance of the area.
Introduction
Having examined the townscape of Park Conservation Area, it is now possible to identify those features which contribute to its character and appearance as an area of special architectural and historic interest.
Assessment of Buildings
An important part of character assessment involves the evaluation of buildings, identifying those that make a valuable contribution and are worthy of retention as well as those which make no positive contribution or which detract from the character and appearance of the conservation area.

Key Features
Street Pattern - The street pattern respects the topography with long terraces and rectangular street blocks on the flatter ground to the south on either side of Sauchiehall Street and the streets behind. To the north and east curving terraces step up to reflect the contours of the drumlin, culminating in an oval Circus at the summit. Between the terraces and street blocks are lanes, some of which have a variety of commercial and residential mews buildings.
Building Line - The building line is of fundamental importance as a feature of this conservation area. The established discipline found in the prevailing townscape is predominantly that of terraces which have a main plane to the front façade, with bays and often porticos, projecting beyond the building line. This line is usually strongly reinforced by railings to either basement wells or front gardens dividing these from the pavement. The line of the railings maintains a consistent distance from the building line so that the streets have a regular appearance. In tenemental blocks within the area a similar discipline applies.

High Architectural Quality – The quality of the architecture in Park Conservation Area is extremely fine and is reflected in the large numbers of statutory listings in the area. The majority of the buildings are listed buildings; Category A or B.
Uniformity – there is a uniformity of built form, materials, colours etc. which contributes to what is an unparalleled town planning set-piece of European significance.
Use of Traditional Materials - There is a limited palette of traditional materials and this contributes strongly to the character of the conservation area. Traditional materials such as natural sandstone, natural slate, timber windows and doors, wrought iron railings, rear brick walls, Caithness slab and granite setts make a valuable contribution to the quality of the conservation area and contribute to the richness of its character. Traditional materials are reflective of the historical development of the area and provide a feeling of permanency and continuity.
Natural stone is an important unifying feature within the conservation area. Most of the listed buildings are constructed in blonde sandstone. Some have received paint treatment over whole or part of their facades, porticos etc. over time but the underlying impression is of the solidity of stone construction. In addition, stone has been used decoratively in some locations. Buildings are often embellished with stone carving above bays and doorways.
R oo f s , ch imne ys an d asso c i a t ed embellishments are very important features of this area. Some of the roofs such as at Park Terrace are in an exuberant French Renaissance style. These are characterised by steeply sloping roofs and dormer windows. These features are all the more dramatic due to their position at the summit of Woodlands Hill facing south and west with imposing views over the Park and River. This was the first time this style had been used in Glasgow. The area is characterised by buildings with pitched slate roofs and most of these have retained their natural slate finish with a few exceptions.
Survival of original detail and features from when the buildings were originally built is noted. Details such as stone steps, cast iron railings, decorative wrought iron features, stained and etched glass, kerbs with steps to accommodate carriages, boot scrapers and timber doors remain in evidence.
Combination and Distribution of Uses – The combination and distribution of uses is changing in this area. Most of the properties
1
DRS/2018/15
PARK
were originally built as residential town houses, however, office and commercial uses moved in during the second half of the 20th Century. These commercial uses are, in turn, gradually moving out and residential uses are returning through conversion of properties.
Other features - There are a number of important additional features of this area which are exceptional in their contribution to the character of this particular conservation area, reflect the relationship of topography and built form and provide visual and physical linkages between areas.
These include:
Balustrades/railings – Park Terrace, the balustrade, railings and gateway to Kelvingrove Park (Charles Wilson) (1855) and stone balustrading on the south side of Park Terrace carriageway with gates west to Lord Robert’s statue are important decorative features unique to the Park area. Also the towers of the former Trinity College, Park Circus Church and St Silas Church form important prominent features on the city skyline.
Kelvingrove Park - the Park was designed in conjunction with the housing development by Charles Wilson, Sir Joseph Paxton and Thomas Kyle (surveyor) in what was the first venture of its kind. There are many listed features such as buildings, bridges, fountains and statues within the Park itself including:
Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery (1901)Italian Gardens (1915)Cameronians War Memorial (1924)Normandy Veterans Association Monument (1994)Snowbridge (1800)Dumbarton Road gateway (1914)Sunlight Cottages (1901)Chalybeate Spring Well (1800)Burnhouse Weir and Lade (c1450-1900)Remains of Clayslaps Mill (c1650 – 1880)The Psalmist (1972)Tom John Honeyman Seating Area (1972)
Lord Lister Statue (1924)Pulham Rockery and Cascade (1901)Lord Kelvin Statue (1913)Bandstand and Amphitheatre (1924)Kelvinway Gate PiersThomas Carlyle Statue (1916)Prince of Wales Bridge (1894-95)Highland Light Infantry Monument (1906)An Clachan Memorial (1912)Lobey Dosser Statue (1992)Park Terrace retaining wall and balustrade (c1855)Lord Roberts VC Monument (1916)Bengal Tigress Statue (1867)Granite Staircase (1853-54)Café and playground shelter (1913)Herbaceous Border Jubilee Gateway at Derby Street (1897)Stewart Memorial Fountain (1872)Cyprus Pond (1885)Skateboard Park (2004)Bowling and Croquet Pavilions (1922)Kelvinway Gate Piers (1913-14)Kelvinway Bridge (1913-14).
Outwith Kelvingrove Park there is a fountain at the foot of Woodside Crescent (the Category B listed Cameron Memorial Fountain), and a modern statue at Woodlands Gate that are also significant features.
Rear Lanes provide connectivity, permeability and also contribute to the character of the conservation area. Some of these have retained original character, particularly around Park Circus, with cobbled setts and narrow footpaths. In other areas they have been resurfaced extensively with tarmac.

Key Challenges
Loss of original architectural detail -Original architectural detail makes a defining contribution to the character and appearance of any conservation area. Its retention and repair is therefore an important aspect of the preservation and enhancement of an area. By contrast, inappropriate replacement doors, windows, roof coverings and loss of chimney stacks has, to some extent, eroded the special character of the Park Conservation Area. The reversal of this trend is important.
Use of inappropriate materials -The use of materials in any conservation area is another impor tant e lement of i ts character design and location and appearance. Where these are replaced with modern materials there will normally be a loss of character. A common example is the replacement of original timber windows with modern plastic substitutes which are not in keeping with the character of the buildings. A particular issue in this area is the use of paint on stonework and while some buildings have been painted for many years it is important to encourage the removal of paint from stonework as a long term objective. Given the predominant building material is natural stone, the use of inappropriate repair materials such as render is prevalent.
The Public Realm - The quality and upkeep of the public realm within the conservation area is important. Damage to paving surfaces by utilities and other contractors, design and location of street furniture, street lighting, proliferation of street signs and the maintenance of amenity spaces, all need to be addressed to ensure the character and appearance of the conservation area is maintained
Landscaping - Kelvingrove Park has over the years been the subject of inappropriate over planting which has weakened the original design intent. Land and Environmental Services are seeking to address the issue. An opportunity exists for enhancement of the Park in conjunction with Glasgow University who are working to a Master Plan which includes the new area of the University which abuts the western edge of the Park and includes the former Western Infirmary site.
The greatest changes to the existing landscape are likely to be in the immediate vicinity of the Snow Bridge where the boundaries between the Park and the University are likely to become more indistinct, with a planned connection for the general public, as well as University students and staff, running diagonally from the park, through the new campus and up to Byres Road.
The pleasure gardens throughout the conservation area would benefit from more comprehensive maintenance regimes in order to retain their intended character and design, and prevent the further loss of trees. They add greatly to the views along the various Terraces on Sauchiehall Street; Royal Crescent; the Woodside and Claremont/Clairmont areas; Lynedoch Street and Park Circus. It is the combination of the park, communal gardens, and planned townscape that gives the area its unique character.
Advertising -Recently there have been examples of inappropriate forms of advertising such as banners in the area. In addition, unauthorised canopies attached to listed buildings or free standing within the curtilage are in evidence.
Building Maintenance -The character and appearance of the conservation area is greatly enhanced when buildings are properly maintained. While the majority of buildings are well maintained, there are some which require attention.

Introduction
The appl icat ion of planning pol ic ies and provision of information and advice encouraging sympathetic maintenance and repair are important tools in the preservation of the areas’ unique character and are dealt with in the following pages.
A number of specific sites/issues have also been identified as opportunities for enhancement.
Opportunities for Preservation and Enhancement
Maintenance - The best means of preserving the character and appearance of any area is through the routine maintenance of buildings. Roofs, domes, statuary, chimneys, windows, doors, guttering, stonework, entrance steps, need regular attention to prolong their life secure the future of the building and enhance its setting. Regular, coordinated maintenance programmes can help reduce costs in the long term.
Development - Minor works such as the removal of chimneys and replacement or alteration of traditional windows, doors, and roofs with modern styles and materials are evident and can have the cumulative effect of eroding the character and appearance of the conservation area. The City Council is committed to the preservation of the areas’ unique character through the application of City Development Plan policies. Information relating to the key policies which promote the sympathetic design, repair and maintenance of property can be found in the Glasgow City Development Plan and online at www.glasgow.gov.uk
Design of new buildings – Park has a very strong and consistent architectural character. The scale, massing, formality and high quality of the architecture are important elements of the established character. New buildings should reflect these characteristics in order to maintain the character of the area and in accordance with the City Development Plan.
Information and Advice - Property owners and residents have a major role to play in the preservation and enhancement of the Park Conservation Area. Information on the implications of living in a Listed Building/Conservation Area is available on the Council’s website. Residents may contact the Council with any Planning or conservation queries.

Street Furniture – The standardisation and coordination of streetscape elements such as pedestrian barriers, litter bins, street signage, lighting, street name panels, phone boxes and traffic control boxes would complement the formal lines of the prevailing architecture and reinforce the character of the conservation area.
Lighting – It is important that street lighting fixtures complement the architectural and historic character of the area. All lighting fixtures will be assessed on their merit. Land and Environmental Services and Development and Regeneration Services must be satisfied that lighting proposals meet the Council’s design standards with regard to light quality and enhancement of the historic environment.
Public Realm – redevelopment works and repeated excavations by statutory undertakers have resulted in the gradual loss of traditional materials from the Conservation Area. Some historic materials survive and their reinstatement should be encouraged as per City Development Plan 2017 Policy SG9 Historic Environment, which states that repairs should be carried out to match traditional materials, where they still exist. Bituminous patching is not acceptable. Where complete resurfacing is required, high quality materials should be used, e.g. Caithness/stone flags/granite setts or, alternatively, high quality textured pre-cast concrete blocks of similar colour and scale. Continuous bituminous surfacing is not acceptable. Allowance should be made for sustainable urban drainage, tree pits and green swales where possible as integral features of the conservation area and especially where these are already historic features of the streetscape. Original kerbs should be retained, wherever possible. Original details such as pavement lights and cast iron manhole covers should be retained in situ wherever possible. In addition the location and number of telecommunications apparatus, including Broadband and other cabinets on pavements, should not be detrimental to the character or setting of a Listed Building or visual amenity of a Conservation Area.

Grants
Possible sources of grant funding would include Historic Environment Scotland and/or Glasgow City Heritage Trust. Glasgow City Heritage Trust currently prioritises their limited funding in line with their aims and those of their funders. The Trust aims to target funds where the justification is greatest. In practice this means eligible buildings must clearly demonstrate economic, social, environmental and regeneration benefits. Applicants should be aware that the award of grant is discretionary and subject to availability.
Certain kinds of work are eligible including:• Repair or reinstatement of original
architectural features such as windows, decorative work and railings
• Repair of structural elements including masonry, roofs and joinery

ARTICLE 4 DIRECTIONS
In addition to the specific conservation area controls mentioned in What Does Conservation Area Status Mean above, further controls can be applied called Article 4 Directions. These have the effect of controlling minor works which, over time, could erode the character and appearance of the conservation area.
The effect of an Article 4 Direction is to control minor works which, over time, could erode the character and appearance of the conservation area. Article 4 Directions do not preclude the carrying out of these works but planning permission must be sought.
The Park Conservation Area has Article 4 Directions covering the following Classes of Development:
● Class1Theenlargement,improvementorotheralterationofa dwelling house.
● Class 3 The provision within the curtilage of a dwelling house of any building or enclosure, swimming or other pool required for a purpose incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house, or the maintenance, improvement or other alteration of such a building or enclosure.
● Class 7 The erection, construction, maintenance, improvement or other alteration of a gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure.
● Class27Thecarryingoutonlandwithintheboundariesofaprivate road or private way of works required for the maintenance or improvement of the road or way.

The General Permitted Development Order (GPDO) which came into force on the 6th February 2012 has in effect removed all permitted development (PD) rights for householders (i.e. dwellings or flatted residential properties) within conservation areas without the planning authority having to apply for Article 4 Directions. Flats have no Permitted Development rights in a conservation area. As the rights have been removed by statute any application requires a fee.
Where article 4 directions exist for householder development (e.g. the old Class 1 and Class 3) these are in effect superseded by the new GPDO. However the article 4 directions which exist for Class 7 (fences walls) and Class 27 roads still apply as these are not altered by the new GPDO.
CITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The quality and character of the Park Conservation Area, as identified in this Appraisal, will be maintained through the implementation of policies contained within the adopted City Development Plan (2017).
The City Development Plan can be accessed at www.glasgow.gov.uk.
The completion of the Park Conservation Area Appraisal provides an opportunity for the interpretation of these policies at a more local level, focusing on the unique character of the area, architectural features and townscape detailing.
