This can be interpreted as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>archaeological interest: As defined in the Glossary to the National Planning Policy Framework, there will be archaeological interest in a heritage asset if it holds, or potentially holds, evidence of past human activity worthy of expert investigation at some point.<\/li>\n<li>architectural and artistic interest: These are interests in the design and general aesthetics of a place. They can arise from conscious design or fortuitously from the way the heritage asset has evolved. More specifically, architectural interest is an interest in the art or science of the design, construction, craftsmanship and decoration of buildings and structures of all types. Artistic interest is an interest in other human creative skill, like sculpture.<\/li>\n<li>historic interest: An interest in past lives and events (including pre-historic). Heritage assets can illustrate or be associated with them. Heritage assets with historic interest not only provide a material record of our nation\u2019s history, but can also provide meaning for communities derived from their collective experience of a place and can symbolise wider values such as faith and cultural identity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In legislation and designation criteria, the terms \u2018special architectural or historic interest\u2019 of a listed building and the \u2018national importance\u2019 of a scheduled monument are used to describe all or part of what, in planning terms, is referred to as the identified heritage asset\u2019s significance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/conserving-and-enhancing-the-historic-environment\">Read the full guidance\u2026.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See the previous version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk\/20190607161354\/https:\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/conserving-and-enhancing-the-historic-environment\">guidance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more on the NPPF revision see the IHBC <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=19699\">NewsBlogs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>See the IHBC\u2019s joint <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/docs\/Conservation%20Professional%20Practice%20Principles_A5%20FINAL%20May%202017.pdf\"><em>Conservation Professional<\/em> <em>Practice Principles<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>See more background to the IHBC\u2019s joint <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/docs\/Conservation%20Professional%20Practice%20Principles_A5%20FINAL%20May%202017.pdf\"><em>Conservation Professional<\/em><em>Practice Principles<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0<\/em>on the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=19699\">IHBC NewsBlogs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To see the practitioners\u2019 context to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/docs\/Conservation%20Professional%20Practice%20Principles_A5%20FINAL%20May%202017.pdf\"><em>Conservation Professional<\/em> <em>Practice Principles<\/em><\/a> follow the links to our \u2018<em>Recognised standards and guidelines<\/em>\u2019 on the <a href=\"http:\/\/ihbconline.co.uk\/toolbox\/standards.html\">IHBC\u2019s Toolbox<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IHBC has welcomed formally the Government\u2019s update of its Historic Environment (HE) guidance, issued following earlier revisions to England\u2019s National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), in particular the further \u00a0clarification of the four interests that make up \u2018heritage interest\u2019:\u00a0 Archaeological, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=23486\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23486"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23487,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23486\/revisions\/23487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
