Peterhead Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS)

The fishing ports of the North East coast have a distinctive character that Aberdeenshire Council recognises and wish to promote. The Scottish Government also values the historic environment as essential to the regeneration and sustainability of such places and a fund managed by Historic Scotland is distributed by Local Authorities in selected Conservation Areas.

Aberdeenshire Council is one of the pioneer authorities delivering a Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS). The Peterhead CARS was launched on the 27th November 2007. The scheme has the ability to draw a maximum of £650,000 from the Scottish Government via Historic Scotland to support the conservation and regeneration of the historic built environment within the Peterhead Central Conservation Area
