Policy<br />
Lucy Blackburn<br />
Director of Policy<br />
T<br />
his year Policy Group made significant progress on establishing a clear policy framework<br />
for <strong>Historic</strong> <strong>Scotland</strong>’s work and on improving the availability of information on the historic<br />
environment in <strong>Scotland</strong>. Dumfries House was the most high-profile of the many buildings<br />
assisted through our range of grants schemes.<br />
Working closely with colleagues across the agency and the rest of the Scottish<br />
Government, we issued six Scottish <strong>Historic</strong> Environment Policy (SHEP) papers during the<br />
year. We now have clear policy statements for Gardens and Designed Landscapes (SHEP 3),<br />
Scheduled Monument Consent (SHEP 4) and Properties in Care (SHEP 5), to add to earlier<br />
SHEP 1 (our overarching policy on the <strong>Historic</strong> Environment) and SHEP 2 (Scheduling).<br />
During the year we began consultations on SHEPs on listing and listed building consent<br />
and on the marine environment, and made good progress towards a consultation on<br />
battlefields policy - a significant step forward in providing a truly comprehensive policy<br />
framework for the Scottish Government and the agency.<br />
