Managing Change Guidance survey

Overview

Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is asking for your views to help us shape future Managing Change guidance.

We are working to make sure our Managing Change guidance aligns with current policy and national priorities.

Why your views matter

We are seeking your feedback to ensure Managing Change guidance is fit for purpose. This engagement aims to understand how the guidance is currently being used and how we can improve the guidance as a tool to support decision making.

Your feedback will inform our priorities for topics for new guidance and updates.

Workshops
In addition to the survey we are also running two workshops that are a further opportunity to give feedback on the series and topics. Sign up on Eventbrite or contact heritagepolicy@hes.scot

Background on Managing Change guidance
Managing Change in the Historic Environment guidance series supports good decision making in the historic environment. The guidance notes set out the key things to think about when different types of changes are proposed.

Managing Change can have weight in any decision where the Historic Environment Policy for Scotland (HEPS) is relevant. This can include decisions on funding, plans and policies.

The guidance series forms part of national guidance on managing change in the historic environment. The National Planning Framework (NPF4) refers decision makers to this guidance, and it is a material consideration for relevant decisions in the Scottish planning system.
