This Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) supersedes and consolidates National Planning Policy Guidelines - NPPG 18 Planning and the Historic Environment and NPPG 5 Archaeology and Planning. It sets out the national planning policy for the historic environment with a view to its protection, conservation and enhancement and indicates how the planning system will contribute towards the delivery of Scottish Ministers' policies as set out in the Scottish Historic Environment Policy (SHEP) series produced by Historic Scotland. This SPP complements and should be read in conjunction with the SHEP series, together with the Memorandum of Guidance on Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas. Associated planning advice can be found in PAN 71 Conservation Area Management and PAN 42 Archaeology.
The IEMA are not planning to respond to this consultation. If any individual or corporate member wishes to respond, please do so following the instructions on the above website.
