Abstract
Using the D-Day veteran PS Ryde as an example, this article proposes the application of the provisions in the UK government's Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment, which advocates presumption in favour of preserving heritage assets, to those fixed and immobile vessels of the United Kingdom's National Historic Fleet which, because they have been taken out of the water or have had a change of use, are subject to planning legislation. It proposes that these vessels are a material consideration in the planning process and that local planning authorities could, and probably should, employ the discretionary powers provided by PPS 5 to place responsibility for the care of these vessels on owners. They should require developers to provide evidence in support of planning applications to demonstrate that they fully understand a vessel and that they have made adequate provision for its preservation.
