Local planning authorities are responsible for granting and refusing consent to alter or demolish a listed building in consultation with the relevant national agencies and the statutory amenity societies. There is a right of appeal to the relevant Ministers advised by the respective national agencies body (English Heritage, Historic Scotland, Cadw). For England, English Heritage also maintains a Register of Buildings at Risk (grades I, II* and structural scheduled moments). In Scotland a similar register is maintained by the Scottish Civic Trust on behalf of Historic Scotland which fully funds the programme (see [www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/|http://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/]). Some local authorities also maintain a list of locally important buildings which will be taken into account in the planning process.

[English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target=’_blank’] has assembled a Register of Parks and Gardens of special historic interest and another for historic battlefields in England. These registers are used to alert owners and others to the significance of an area of land. Although no additional statutory controls are available, planning authorities are recommended to take account of these sites in preparing development plans (DoE 1994a). Parks and gardens registers exist under similar circumstances in Wales. Since 1998 Registers of Landscapes of Outstanding and Special Historic Interest have been published for Wales, and while these are also non-statutory, planning authorities are advised to take account of registered historic landscapes when preparing development plans and under certain circumstances when considering planning permissions. No battlefields register exists for Wales. In Scotland there is an Inventory of Historic Gardens and Designed Landscapes. Consultation must take place with Historic Scotland in respect of any planning applications affecting an Inventory site under [The Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/223/made]. There is no battlefield register for Scotland, although Historic Scotland has commissioned pilot research to produce an informal list.

Portable objects are covered by various protection measures. [The Treasure Act 1996|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/24] (applies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland) which came into effect in September 1997 defines 4 categories of treasure. A revised [code of practice|https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/treasure-act-1996-code-of-practice-2nd-revision-england-and-wales] was issued in 2002. Objects covered by the Act must be reported to local coroners, and to encourage the reporting of objects classed as treasure, the market value of the find is paid to finders or landowners. Finders of metal objects not considered treasure and other archaeological objects from non-scheduled sites are encouraged to report their finds under a voluntary scheme, the Portable Antiquities Scheme. This has established a national network of Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs) in England and Wales, based in museums or HERs ([www.finds.org.uk|http://www.finds.org.uk]). FLOs provide a point of contact for finders in each area, as well as liaising with metal detectorists and HERs. Objects that are fixed to listed buildings are also protected under the legislation for listed buildings. English Heritage has published guidance on portable antiquities in relation to its own sites, funded projects and scheduled monuments [Our Portable Past (English Heritage 2006)|http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/publications/our-portable-past/].
