Mauchline’s much anticipated Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) has taken a major step forward with the appointment of a dedicated Conservation Accredited Architect to help with the project.
Glasgow-based Wylie Shanks Architects cover projects across Scotland including healthcare, education and housing.
Their Conservation
Partner, Wendy Corrigan, a member of the National Trust for Scotland’s Board of Trustees, will oversee the Mauchline CARS
projects.
Wendy’s role will include preparation of a Conservation Area Management Plan and the design
and implementation of a public realm scheme to revitalise the extensive public areas which wind through the centre of Mauchline.
Wendy said: “Having been involved with a number of CARS funded projects in the past we have seen first-hand the huge benefits that this investment can bring to communities.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Mauchline.”
Lyn Rew, Mauchline CARS Officer, said: “She brings with her a wealth of conservation experience and expertise, and a sound knowledge of Ayrshire vernacular architecture and a strong track record of working on conservation projects in East Ayrshire.”
