'''PPG 15''' is short for ''Planning Policy Guidance 15: Planning and the Historic Environment'', a document produced by the [[British Government]] to advise local planning authorities on the treatment of ''historic buildings'' and the wider ''historic environment'' within the planning process. It was introduced in November 1990 following public outcry after a number of high profile scandals such as the threatened destruction of the [[Rose Theatre]] in [[London]] by developers. It replaced the earlier [[Circular 8/87]] which was criticised for being ill-focused in both practical and geographical terms. Circulars 01/2001 and 09/2005, which discuss arrangements for handling heritage applications and that amend the existing ''PPG 15: Planning and the historic environment'', were published September 1994.
A similar guideline known as [[PPG 16]] exists for archaeology within the planning process. As of 2004 both documents are proposed to be combined into a single piece of guidance called a [[Planning Policy Statement]].
