ABSTRACT The responsibility for the management of much of Britain’s historic environment lies in the hands of the nation’s numerous local authorities; on one hand they administer the planning system whilst on the other they own large expanses of land containing archaeological sites along with museums and thousands of historic buildings. The last 10 years have seen significant changes in the landscape of local government which has impacted on their management of the historic environment. This is both in terms of changes in planning policy with the move from Planning Policy Guides 15 & 16 to 2010’s Planning Policy Statement to 2012/2018’s National Planning Policy Frameworks, but also in the pressures brought by declining government funding and the quest for associated efficiencies. This paper will draw on the personal experiences of myself and historic environment colleagues, principally in the West Midlands region, over the past decade to look at what has changed and what maybe the opportunities and threats to the future management of the historic environment in local government.

历史环境政策：规划部门的观点

摘要管理英国大部分历史环境的责任掌握在英国众多地方政府的手中。一方面，他们管理规划系统，另一方面，他们拥有大片土地，其中包括考古遗址以及博物馆和成千上万的历史建筑。在过去的十年中，地方政府的格局发生了重大变化，这对他们对历史环境的管理产生了影响。从规划政策指南15和16到2010年的规划政策声明到2012/2018年的国家规划政策框架的变化，这不仅体现在规划政策的变化上，还体现在政府资金减少以及寻求相关效率方面带来的压力。
