    Annex E – Historic England Introduction This Annex is supplemental to Part 1 of Planning Inspectorate Advice Note 11. Part 1 covers many of the points of interaction relevant to the Planning Inspectorate and Historic England. However, there are some specific points that have not been addressed or which require clarification that are considered in this Annex. This Annex will be kept under review so as to ensure that it remains relevant and up to date, for example because of future organisational or legislative changes affecting Historic England and/or the Planning Inspectorate. One of the purposes of this Annex is to provide advice to applicants in order to improve engagement between applicants and Historic England. The Planning Inspectorate and Historic England encourage direct engagement between applicants and Historic England at a sufficiently early point at the pre-application stage. Historic England’s Statutory Role Historic England is the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England, established by the National Heritage Act 1983. It seeks to broaden public access to England’s cultural heritage, increase people's understanding and appreciation of the past, and conserve and enhance the historic environment. This includes all aspects of the environment resulting from the interaction between people and places through time, including all surviving physical remains of past human activity, whether visible, buried or submerged, and landscaped and planted or managed flora. It has specific duties under the 1983 Act1 to: (a) secure

  • Briefing 4: Marine Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
    Marine archaeology and cultural heritage Legislation giving statutory protection to ancient monuments dates back to 1882. Similarly, the need to preserve the best examples of ancient monuments, archaeological and historic interests in and around UK waters has also long been recognised. Indeed, much of the law governing marine archaeology in the UK has changed little in its basic structure over the last century and a half, although several subsequent national and international measures have afforded wider protection to the marine historic environment. The primary legislation governing the historic environment is largely shared by England and Wales. However, Protection of Historical Assets in Walesi, published by the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) in September 2003, sets out ideas for possible changes to the legislation governing the protection of the historic environment in Wales. A similar consultation undertaken by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in England also identified a number of changes that might be made to designation and protection and the ways in which they might be appliedii. A further joint consultation paper on the protection of the marine historic environment followed, which set out for the UK as a whole, the key issues and questions in relation to marine historic environment designationiii. Against this background this briefing summarises the key legislative instruments and addresses the main shortcomings of the existing regulatory framework relevant to the protection of marine archaeology and cultural heritage. INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LEGISLATION the recovered material continues to be determined by The World Heritage Convention, adopted by the law of salvage. UNESCO in 1972, links the concepts of nature The International Convention on Salvage 1989 is conservation and preservation of cultural heritage and incorporated into UK law by s.224 of the Merchant defines the kind of sites that can be considered for Shipping Act 1995.

INTRODUCTION At present, the legal situation in respect of land in England and Wales is confusing. Title to most land in England and Wales is now registered. However, title to some 15% (or less) is still governed by older legal principles, including the need for title deeds. Further, there are many antiquated pieces of legislation relating to land still existing - various pieces of which are obsolete and others which should be re-stated in modern language. For a list of existing land legislation, see Appendices A-B. Antiquated (and obsolete) land legislation complicates the legal position as well as prevents the consolidation of English land law. Such has major financial implications since a clearer, consolidated, land law would help speed up land sales - including house purchases - and reduce costs for businesses and individuals. Also, old laws can (often) be a ‘trap for the unwary.’1 The purpose of this article is to consider various ancient pieces of land legislation and to argue that they should be repealed. In particular, this article argues for the repeal of the following: Inclosure Acts.
