Heritage Protection White PaperStatutory Historic Environment Records • Central role in enabling the delivery of a new heritage protection system • Inform the management of the historic environment to support sustainable development • Within the planning system • Through other management systems, such as environmental stewardship scheme

  6. Heritage Protection White PaperHistoric Environment Records HERS are currently discretionary - maintaining or having access to a HER will become statutory. They will need to: • Be comprehensive – including the full range of local designations, contained on indexed databases, and making available associated reference collections • Include a linked GIS to help analyse and present this information alongside other environmental datasets (such as characterisation studies); and • Be managed by skilled curatorial staff able to communicate with diverse audiences • Be widely accessible via the Planning Portal and Heritage Gateway

  7. Heritage Protection White PaperEnhanced Local Delivery – Local Authorities Responsibilities- • A single gateway to new Heritage Asset Consent • To negotiate most HPAs with EH engagement as appropriate • Statutory duty to maintain or have access to a Historic Environment Record, linked to Heritage Portal to link to other databases and e-planning • LPAs to be supported by EH guidance on local historic environment services, training and capacity building, and through new national standards

  8. Heritage Protection White PaperEnhanced Local Delivery –English Heritage Responsibilities- • Publish new guidance on outcomes local authorities should be seeking for historic environment services • Roll out new training to all local authority historic environment staff and Historic Environment Champions • Support local authorities in developing and improving their HERs through new training and capacity building, and new national standards and guidance • Develop the Heritage Gateway electronic portal

  9. E-planning • Planning Portal • Definitive resources for public sector planning professional • Allows local authorities to download planning applications structured via the Portal • PARSOL • Standards, toolkits, specifications, schemes, systems and software to build online planning and regulatory systems • NaPCOL – National Planning Constraints Online.

  13. What is it? A 5-year collaborative project to build a Heritage Gateway or portal to historic environment records in England

  14. Vision • User feedback – access via a single search interface • Heritage Gateway has potential to provide access to both NMR and Local Government resources • Not a substitute for the individual underlying resources but an easy and simple way in to them that provides the end user with an holistic approach • The whole has the potential to be more than the sum of the parts

  15. National DesignationsUnifiedR H B S E • Listed Buildings • Scheduled Monuments • Historic Parks & Gardens • Battlefields • Conservation areas • World Heritage Sites • Marine historic assets

  16. Forthcoming NMR projects • Archives Online • Digitised aerial photography

  17. Benefits • Users want cross-searching national/local • Partnership - Audience development, promotion, standards • Focus minds on proper roles and responsibilities • Relatively inexpensive to join
