Historic Land-use Assessment (HLA) started in Scotland in 1996, led and centrally managed by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) and Historic Scotland (Historic Scotland), in conjunction with the Local Authorities ([Dyson-Bruce et al 1999|Bibliography#Dyson-Bruce et al 1999|target='_blank']). A single uniform GIS based methodology is being applied across the country and approximately half of Scotland had been completed at the time of writing.

RCAHMS has an interactive website, which is constantly updated, illustrating the HLA, (see - [http://jura.rcahms.gov.uk/HLA/start.jsp]), a sample screenshot from the website is illustrated below (figure 50).

Wales has adopted a different approach, and has defined a 'Register of Landscapes' of specific or outstanding interest ([Cadw 1998|Bibliography#Cadw 1998|target='_blank']) which ranks and values specific selected areas, but not the whole landscape. A programme of Historic Landscape Characterization has been undertaken on each of the registerered landscapes and the methodology exists to characterize any part of the landscape outside the register. Further information on this methodology can be found in Dave Thompson and Daffyd Gwyn's introduction to a typical HLC report such that for [The vale of Llangollen|http://www.herwales.co.uk/her/groups/CPAT/media/reports/CPAT 683.pdf].

As expected, the current ‘period of origin’ of most of these 12 HLC records is the 1930s, apart from three dated to the late 1940s and the 1950s. Drawing the HLC polygons also had to take into account the boundaries of the ancient Perry Barr Common (enclosed around 1815) which cut across of the modern estate. This resulted in 4 of the highlighted 12 ‘multi-polygon’ HLC records being purposely drawn so as to lie entirely within the area of the former commons.

We firmly believe that both methodological approaches described above worked well in practice during the characterisation process, and that together they helped keep the size of the Birmingham HLC dataset – and thus also the workload required to create it – manageable, without compromising the accuracy of drawing, dating and describing its records.
