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.
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 the NPPF([MHCLG 2018a|Bibliography#Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government 2018a|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 [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 planning 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']).

Planning authorities are recommended to make full use of the expertise of the county archaeological officer and to compile and maintain an HER as the basis for assessing the archaeological implications of development. Early consultation with county archaeological officers and the HER is recommended to reduce potential conflicts between the needs of development and archaeology.
%%(text-decoration:underline)England/%: __[National Planning Policy Framework|https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-planning-policy-framework--2|target='_blank']__
The [NPPF|Glossary#NPPF] sets out the Government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. It sets out the Government’s requirements for the planning system only to the extent that it is relevant, proportionate and necessary to do so. It provides a framework within which local people and their accountable councils can produce their own distinctive local and neighbourhood plans, which reflect the needs and priorities of their communities. Protecting and enhancing the historic environment is an important component of the NPPF's drive to achieve sustainable development (as defined in [Paragraphs 6-10|https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-planning-policy-framework/achieving-sustainable-development|target='_blank']). The appropriate conservation of heritage assets forms one of the 'Core Planning Principles' of the framework ([Paragraph 17 - Bullet 10|https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-planning-policy-framework/achieving-sustainable-development#para017)|target='_blank'], stating that heritage assets should be conserved '' 'in a manner appropriate to their significance, so that they can be enjoyed for their contribution to the quality of life of this and future generations' ''.
[Paragraphs 126-141| https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-planning-policy-framework/12-conserving-and-enhancing-the-historic-environment|target='_blank' expands specifically on the conservation and enhancement of the historic environment, however policies giving effect to this objective appear elsewhere within the [NPPF|Glossary#NPPF]. This section of the NPPF brings together advice and guidance on all elements of the historic environment, including designated and non-designated archaeology, historic buildings and the historic landscape.

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']
The [NPPF|Glossary#NPPF] should be used alongside its associated [Planning Practice Guidance|https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/planning-practice-guidance|target='_blank'], which provide further context across 42 key topics. Of particular relevance for the Historic Environment is the Planning Practice Guide on ['Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment'| https://www.gov.uk/guidance/conserving-and-enhancing-the-historic-environment|target='_blank'].
Local Planning Authorities are also recommended to make full use of the expertise of the county archaeological officer and to compile and maintain an HER as the basis for assessing the archaeological implications of development. Early consultation with county archaeological officers and the HER is recommended to reduce potential conflicts between the needs of development and archaeology.

%%(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.
