CONTEXT AND JUSTIFICATION
Ancient monuments are protected under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and are scheduled by the Scottish Ministers. The preservation of ancient monuments and their setting is a material consideration in determining planning applications, whether a monument is scheduled or not. National Planning Policy Guideline 5: Archaeology and Planning (NPPG 5) provides further advice.
The ancient monuments in Glasgow are shown on the Environmental Policy Designations Maps.
POLICY
There will be a presumption in favour of retaining, protecting, preserving and enhancing ancient monuments and their setting. Developments that have an adverse impact on scheduled ancient monuments and their setting will be strongly resisted.
DEFINITION
Environmental Policy Designation
Environmental policy designations cover the built and natural heritage of Glasgow. These areas are important because of their environmental quality, biological diversity and/or their historic, architectural or archaeological significance and contribute positively to the quality of the environment, image and diversity of the City.
