With respect David you're wrong - or rather you've got the wrong end of the stick here. Performance indicators are already used with respect to the Historic Enviornment in terms of e.g. the 'assets' referred to in the annual heritage at risk surveys published by our EH chums. These provide a breakdown of listed buildings; Conservation Areas and Secheduled Monuments at risk by local authority area. The PPS is suggesting that Local Authorieties should in future seek toi further engage with this process by (as far as possible) giving and indication of the condition (and sometimes loss) of non-nationally designated heriatge assets i.e. locally listed buildings and non-scheduled archaeological sites. It is not an invitation to measure the unmeasurable.
