The immovable heritage
master plan:
a new instrument for
landscape policy
Conceptual framework
Immovable Heritage Decree (2013)
• Landscape: 2 definitions
•
Landscape: an area, as perceived by people, whose
character is the result of the action and interaction of
natural and/or human factors
Cultural-historical landscape: culture-historical landscape”
means a demarcated surface area characterised by low
density development and mutual cohesion, the
manifestation and cohesion of which are the result of
natural processes and societal developments
•
Immovable heritage: includes landscape(s)
•
all protected archeological sites, monuments, culturalhistoric landscapes and townscapes.

The concept of the IHMP..
•
Landscape is holistic
•
IHMP is developed to create a situation in which:
• Broad interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral
aproach is paramount
• The landscape is not assigned a purely culturalhistoric interpretation
• The landscape as an integral concept remains
intact

.. based on the principles of the
designation of anchor places
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
More emphasis on vision development
Wider substantive scope:
• All immovable heritage included
• Not only area-specific, also by theme
• Larger units possible
Increased involvement of stakeholders
Implementation-oriented
Encourages transversal landscape policy
Also non-sector-specific instruments
Sectoral proposal for spatial implementation
plans and development plans

Action programme
• On the basis of IHMP a supported action plan
can be drawn up
• Consultation and coordination with other sectors:
realising jointly landscape quality objectives and
development perspectives;
• Integrated approach;
• Strategic and coordinated use of a broad spectrum
of instruments;
• Procedure: approval by the Government of
Flanders: Legal consequences

Opportunities and bottlenecks
•
•
In the decree there is little established in
terms of the IHMP: still conceptual;
Questions concerning opportunities and
bottlenecks
•
•
•
•
•
To what extend can we appeal to other sectors?
What conditions must the plan satisfy in order
to achieve a smooth application in spatial
policy?
In case of lack of cooperation from other
sectors: sectoral approach?
How can we facilitate formalised aggreements?
How can we monitor the implementation?

The participative
proces:
a challenge
The participative process: a
challenge
•
EU Landscape Convention: experimenting with all
kinds of participation in landscape policy;
•
Expectations:
• Broad engagement of different actors which
makes the realisations more likely;
•
Provisional concept for the design of the consultation
process is elaborated on the poster.
