Following presentations to Built Environment Forum Scotland (BEFS) members by Andrew Fleming, Director of Policy at Historic Scotland (HS), on the current position and forward plan for the review of Historic Environment (HE) legislation and policy identified in the HS Corporate Plan, BEFS has provided a summary of the current state of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

HS\u2019s Corporate Plan 2012-15 states that it will \u2018Carry out a fundamental review of the Scottish Historic Environment Policy to ensure it supports delivery of the Scottish Government\u2019s commitment both to the historic environment and to sustainable economic growth and provides clarity over our role in key areas.\u2019<\/p>\n

BEFS updates as follows:<\/span>
\nAs Andrew outlined in the presentation there are a number of key drivers for the review, such as the significant budgetary constraints faced across the public sector, and climate change. It is within this context that HS has responsibility to ensure that delivery of national policy on the historic environment is as effective as possible.\u00a0 It is anticipated that the review will not only look at the delivery of statutory functions, but take a much broader view, looking at opportunities and challenges right across the sector.<\/p>\n

The review team would like to advise you all of the next steps \u2013 which are as follows:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Discussions: Preliminary discussions with stakeholders about the scope of the review are nearing completion.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Existing information: HS is undertaking a high level review of the evidence base for the area.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Formulating work programme: Both the discussions and analysis of existing information will be used to identify key themes and issues. These will form the basis of a work programme for the review.\u00a0 The team is keen to structure this work in a way that is open, transparent and participatory.\u00a0 Equally, it is recognised that the process has to be manageable and should not make any unnecessary burdens on stakeholders. The work to develop this programme structure will be ongoing over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Sign off: The structure of the review will require sign off from HS senior management and the Cabinet Secretary prior to the review commencing.\u00a0 HS will be working towards securing agreement over the summer months with a view to starting the work in late summer.<\/p>\n
