The statement takes a broad definition of the historic environment and
identifies its wide ranging economic, social and cultural value.
This includes recognition of the role it plays in helping define local
identity and a sense of community. While recognising the role of
Government in acting more coherently and providing the right legal and
policy framework there is a considerable emphasis on the role of
partnership and public involvement. For the civic movement this
is especially important in recognising the voluntary sector can "<em><i><font

place-making</span></font></i></em>". <br>
<br>
There is also recognition of some important challenges, including:<o></o></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

The new Planning Policy Statement 5 <em><i><font face=Arial><span

replaces PPGs 15 and 16 on the historic environment and archaeology and
is now the keynote statement of planning policy on heritage.
Local development frameworks must be compatible with PPS5 and it will
also impact on decisions over individual planning applications.<br>
<br>
The detail will be pored over by planning practitioners and volunteers
in the coming weeks and we will update you on how the new planning
policies are being interpreted. The PPS sets out the Government's
objectives for planning for the historic environment and details twelve
policies.<br>

exceptional" for Grade I and II*, scheduled monuments, World

that not all elements of a Conservation Area contribute to its
significance and only those elements that do should be taken into
account but also that those elements which do not may be enhanced as
