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) and Planning Policy Wales (see [Panel 1|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionA.4#section-SectionA.4-Panel1TheNationalLegislativeAndPolicyFrameworkForHERs]). In Scotland [SPP1 (Scottish Executive 2002)|http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2002/11/15751/12817] 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, whilst NPPG 18 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). 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']).

In September 2004, the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act came into force. This requires Local Planning Authorities in England and Wales to have a Local Development Framework in place by Spring 2007. These will replace the existing system of Unitary Development Plans, Local Plans and Structure Plans. A [Guide for Heritage Groups on Local Development Frameworks|http://www.heritagelink.org.uk/docs/heritage_groups_guide.pdf] is available on the [Heritage Alliance web site|http://www.heritagelink.org.uk/].

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.

In England and Wales, HERs will normally be adopted by resolution by their local authority in line with the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (see Panel 1). In the absence of statutory status for HERs, adoption goes some way towards ensuring the continuance of HER services and provides a useful way of explaining their importance to councillors.

!!A.5.3 Marine policy, planning and decision-taking
Major changes affecting the whole of the UK accompanied the [Marine and Coastal Access Act (MCAA) 2009|Bibliography#Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009|target='_blank'], which introduced a hierarchical system of marine planning and a comprehensive approach to the licensing of marine activities, both of which make explicit reference to the management of the historic environment. In addition, sections on nature conservation (marine protected areas) and the management of inshore fisheries also include provisions on the historic environment. The implementation of the MCAA 2009 varies between the home countries and is accompanied by equivalent provisions in the other ‘Marine Acts’: the [Marine (Scotland) Act 2010|Bibliography#Marine (Scotland) Act 2010|target='_blank']; and the [Marine Act (Northern Ireland) 2013|Bibliography#Marine Act (Northern Ireland) 2013|target='_blank']. Notwithstanding, the overall effect of the Marine Acts collectively is that in each home country the management of the marine historic environment has become much more firmly embedded in marine management as a whole.
For marine management purposes, the waters around the UK are split into Inshore Regions and Offshore Regions. Inshore Regions encompass tidal waters from the upstream tidal limit of rivers and estuaries, seaward to the limit of the UK Territorial Sea, which is generally 12 nautical miles (about 22 km) from low water. Offshore Regions extend from the limit of the UK Territorial Sea to the limit of the UK Continental Shelf, which may be 200 nautical miles or more from the coast.
UK-wide policy with respect to the historic environment is set out in the [UK Marine Policy Statement|Bibliography#HM Government 2010|target='_blank'] (UK MPS) which has statutory application throughout the UK:
''The view shared by the UK Administrations is that heritage assets should be enjoyed for the quality of life they bring to this and future generations, and that they should be conserved through marine
planning in a manner appropriate and proportionate to their significance. Opportunities should be taken to contribute to our knowledge and understanding of our past by capturing evidence from the historic
environment and making this publicly available, particularly if a heritage asset is to be lost.''
In support of the UK MPS, each home country is developing subsidiary (national or regional) marine plans that include policies on the historic environment. Like the UK MPS, the national/regional marine plans have statutory force with respect to decision-making by public authorities. In England, the first regional Marine Plan - the [East Inshore and East Offshore Marine Plans|Bibliography#HM Government 2014|target='_blank'] - was published in 2014. Marine Plans for the other English Inshore and Offshore Regions are in preparation.
Marine plan-making and decision-taking overlaps with land-based planning. The marine area includes everything below high water from the tidal limit of rivers downstream, whereas local authority areas extend to low water and across intervening river and harbour mouths. Between high water and low water, the two planning systems both apply. This can be an extensive area, especially as the upstream tidal limit of some rivers can be far inland. Both marine planning and land-based planning require integration with each other. Paragraph 105 of the NPPF requires:
''In coastal areas, local planning authorities should take account of the UK Marine Policy Statement and marine plans and apply Integrated Coastal Zone Management across local authority and land/sea boundaries, ensuring integration of the terrestrial and marine planning regimes.''
The historic environment is defined in the UK MPS as ‘all aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past
human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged’.
Responsibilities for marine management are devolved, hence the implementation of marine planning and licensing relating to the historic environment is administered by the Marine Management Organisation
(MMO) in England, Marine Scotland, Natural Resources Wales and the Marine Division of DOENI in Northern Ireland. Whereas in England and Scotland, the MMO and Marine Scotland are responsible for licensing
in both Inshore and Offshore Regions, licencing in the Offshore Regions of Wales and Northern Ireland is administered by the MMO; Natural Resources Wales and the Marine Division of DOENI are responsible
only for licensing in their respective Inshore Regions.
The marine planning and licensing agencies in each country obtain advice from the national heritage agencies. Generally, in England, Scotland and Wales the marine agencies do not currently maintain any
archaeological advice internally; however, the Marine Division, DOENI has established its own heritage management post.
The Marine Acts require that a licence be obtained before carrying out a very wide range of marine activities. The obligation to abide by the UK Marine Policy Statement and marine plans, which include
provisions on the historic environment, is such that licensing decisions need to take into account the possible effects of the proposed activity on the historic environment. This obligation is reinforced
in the case of major schemes by the requirements of the EIA Directive. As a result, there is a comprehensive mechanism in place to address the implications of most activities incidentally affecting the marine historic environment.
In England and Wales, major infrastructure projects known as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects are subject to a different form of consent. Applications are examined by the Planning
Inspectorate (PINS) and decisions are made by the Secretary of State responsible for the sector to which the project relates (e.g. in the Department for Transport (DfT) for ports; Department for Energy and
Climate Change (DECC) for offshore wind farms). Consents relating to oil and gas are administered by DECC throughout the UK Marine Area.
Further provision for marine development has been made though a number of industry-based initiatives, including the JNAPC Code of Practice for Seabed Development and guidance notes for marine aggregates,
offshore wind and wave and tidal energy (see [Panel|http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionA.5#section-SectionA.5-MarinePolicyPlansAndGuidance]).
!Local authorities and fisheries conservation
The MCAA 2009 made provision for Inshore Fisheries and Conservation districts (IFC districts) to be established to cover every local authority area that includes part of the seashore, and for the IFC districts to extend as far out across the Inshore Region as might be decided (usually 6 nautical miles - about 11 km). The MCAA 2009 provides that each IFC district shall have an Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA). The IFCA is a committee of the local authority / authorities covered by the IFC district. IFCAs have a duty to manage the exploitation of sea fisheries, and to further the objectives of any Marine Conservation Zones, within their district. The IFCA must seek to balance the exploitation of sea fisheries with the need to protect and promote the recovery of the marine environment - which by virtue of s. 186(1) includes features of archaeological or historic interest - from the effects of such exploitation.
