| Fraserburgh CARS Project Officer Recommendation | “By replacing the cementitious harling with a lime harling, and by unblocking the Mausoleum and reinstating a protective gate in a traditional design with appropriate materials, the proposals not only preserve and enhance the character of the property, the high street, and the Central Conservation Area; they also permit the building to breathe and, for the first time in decades, offer the public the opportunity to view into the structure and, thereby, improve their understanding of the structure.” (Conservation Architect’s statement) |
