Traditionally an HER officer has served two key roles, as an information manager responsible for developing the record and providing information services, and in a planning context providing information and advice for assessment of the implications of development proposals. In recent years use of the record for pro-active management of the historic environment, though input to policy and initiatives such as MPP and agri-environment schemes has gained greater prominence. Additionally, HERs are increasingly being developed for greater public benefit through programmes of outreach and promoting use of the records for research and education at all levels. All of these roles need a clear allocation of time and resources. In particular, it is essential to ring-fence time to maintain and develop the HER information system against the pressures of responding to planning casework and other enquiries. Many HERs consider that separate posts are required to cover these roles, with the larger HERs having several posts with both an HER manager and HER assistants, sometimes with specific roles such as Outreach Officer.
