<p>‘Heritage asset’ is a broad term used in planning policy. The Secretary of State
for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is responsible for the statutory heritage protection
system, including the designation of Listed Buildings, Scheduled Monuments and Protected
Wreck Sites. Details of these assets can be found online in the National Heritage
List for England, hosted by Historic England on behalf of the Secretary of State.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The circa 400,000 Listed Buildings, Scheduled Monuments and Protected
Wreck Sites in England or UK territorial waters adjacent to England have intrinsic
value to our cultural heritage. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
(DCMS) does not collect or collate data on the value (property value) or income data
for these sites.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>DCMS and its arms length bodies produce
data on the economic impact of the heritage sector; this is published within DCMS
Sectors Economic Estimates and Historic England's Heritage Economic Estimate Indicators.
DCMS’s Culture and Heritage Capital Programme is looking to develop broader measures
of value for heritage assets.</p><p> </p>
