Structure, local and unitary development plans are the main way that local authorities make sure that their conservation policies are integrated with other planning policies. Archaeology, buildings and natural environment information services should be consulted during the preparation of plans in line with PPG 12 ([DoE 1992a|Bibliography#DoE 1992a|target='_blank']) and [Planning Policy Wales (2016)|Bibliography#Welsh Government 2016|target='_blank'] (see [Panel 1|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionA.4#section-SectionA.4-Panel1TheNationalLegislativeAndPolicyFrameworkForHERs|target='_blank']). In Scotland [SPP1 (Scottish Executive 2002)|Bibliography#Scottish Executive 2002|target='_blank'] states that one of the primary objectives of the planning system is “to maintain and enhance the quality of the natural heritage and built environment” (para.4), that planning should encourage sustainable development by conserving important historic and cultural assets (para. 7), and that the National Planning Policy Guidelines are a material consideration in development control (para. 51) – archaeology is covered by [NPPG 5|Bibliography#SDD 1994a|target='_blank'], whilst [NPPG 18|Bibliography#SDD 1999|target='_blank'] covers the Historic Environment. In particular, development plans should make reference to the existence of the HER and both Local Plans and Unitary Development Plans should state that the HER will be used in the assessment of development proposals. English Heritage has published guidance on conservation policies in both strategic and local plans in England ([English Heritage 1993|Bibliography#English Heritage 1993|target='_blank']). No equivalent existed in Scotland at the time of writing.

In Scotland [Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) 2014|http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2014/06/5823/5] states that the planning system should “promote the care and protection of the designated and non-designated historic environment (including individual assets, related settings and the wider cultural landscape) and its contribution to sense of place, cultural identity, social well-being, economic growth, civic participation and lifelong learning” (para. 137). It goes on to say that local authorities should have access to an HER, and that all aspects of the historic environment should be taken into account when planning and siting development (para. 140). English Heritage has published guidance on conservation policies in both strategic and local plans in England ([English Heritage 1993|Bibliography#English Heritage 1993|target='_blank']).

%%(text-decoration:underline)Scotland/%: __[National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) 5 Archaeology and Planning|Bibliography#SDD 1994a|target='_blank']__: ([SDD 1994a|Bibliography#SDD 1994a|target='_blank']) contains broadly similar recommendations. It sets out the Scottish Executive's planning policy on how archaeological remains and discoveries should be handled under the development plan and development control systems, including the weight to be given to them in planning decisions and the use of planning conditions. More detailed advice on planning procedures and the separate controls over scheduled monuments is given in the associated [Planning Advice Note (PAN) 42 Archaeology - the Planning Process and Scheduled Monument Procedures (SDD 1994b)|Bibliography#SDD 1994b|target='_blank']
%%(text-decoration:underline)Scotland/%: __[Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) 2014|http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2014/06/5823/5]__: states “The siting and design of development should take account of all aspects of the historic environment. In support of this, planning authorities should have access to a Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) and/or a Historic Environment Record (HER) that contains necessary information about known historic environment features and finds in their area.” (para. 140).
__[Planning Advice Note (PAN) 2/2011|http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2011/08/04132003/0]: Planning and Archaeology__: provides advice to planning authorities and developers on dealing with archaeological remains. It states that “It is essential that every planning authority has access to a Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) / Historic Environment Record (HER) (a record of all known sites), curated by a professional archaeologist on behalf of the local authority or a dedicated heritage body” (para. 10). Early consultation with local authority archaeological officers and the HER is recommended to reduce potential conflicts between the needs of development and archaeology.

%%(text-decoration:underline)Scotland/%: __[NPPG 18 Planning and the Historic Environment|Bibliography#SDD 1999|target='_blank']__ ([SDD 1999|Bibliography#SDD 1999|target='_blank']); deals primarily with listed buildings, conservation areas, world heritage sites, historic gardens, designed landscapes and their settings. The primary source of guidance on the Scottish Ministers' interests and responsibilities in relation to listed buildings and conservation areas is provided in the Memorandum of Guidance on Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas (revised 1998)

In addition to the above, the value of HERs is recognised in a number of other Acts and government policy statements (see [Panel 1|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionA.4#section-SectionA.4-Panel1TheNationalLegislativeAndPolicyFrameworkForHERs|target='_blank']) except in Scotland where the only reference to SMRs may be found in [Planning Advice Note (PAN) 42 (SDD 1994b)|Bibliography#SDD 1994b|target='_blank'], paras. 12-15.
