Historic Environment Scotland<\/a> (HES) published its new Historic Environment Policy for Scotland (HEPS) which will be used by decision-makers in Scotland, the new planning policy will take effect from 1 May<\/h2>\n

HEPS sets out the principles of how the historic environment should be managed and looked after, and forms part of a range of documents that will help to guide and inform decision-makers in the Scottish planning system and land and asset management, such as local authorities and asset owners.<\/p>\n

Barbara Cummins<\/a>, Director of Heritage at HES said: \u201cHEPS is the result of extensive consultation and peer review that has taken place over the past few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen HES was created, we realised we had a unique opportunity to take a fundamental look at our approaches to designation, change management and how Scotland\u2019s historic environment is preserved for current and future generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new policy<\/a> sets out clearly the principles for the recognition, care, management and sustainable use of the historic environment and will help us to care collectively for our heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n

HEPS has been created in response to public and stakeholder views. As part of the \u2018What\u2019s Your Heritage?\u2019 campaign \u2013 the first public consultation of its type for HES \u2013 members of the public across the country were asked what heritage meant to them and how they believed the historic environment should be looked after.<\/p>\n

This is HES\u2019 first strategic policy document with a focus on the whole of the historic environment and facilitates the delivery of Our Place in Time<\/a> \u2013 Scotland\u2019s historic environment strategy.<\/p>\n

The new policy will be formally adopted on 1 May 2019 when it replaces Historic Environment Scotland Policy Statement (HESPS) and should be used for all decisions relating to the historic environment.<\/p>\n

HEPS is being launched in conjunction with HES\u2019 new Corporate Plan 2019 onwards\u00a0\u2018Heritage for All\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n
