We’re delighted to share that Historic Environment Scotland have just launched a public consultation to gather views on a proposal to schedule and list parts of the site of HM Factory Gretna. The aim of scheduling is to preserve our most significant sites and monuments as far as possible in the form in which they have been passed down to us today.
The proposal documents for the scheduled monument are here >
HES are also proposing to list the guardhouses and gate piers at the factory’s main entrance; these are amongst the few remaining original buildings on site. Listing protects historically important buildings from inappropriate future development.
The proposal documents for the listed building are here >
They encourage members of the public to send in their views and comments by completing a short questionnaire that takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
An overview of the proposal can be accessed here >
The consultation closes on 3rd November.
