You are correct, however, it does state in the introduction that it sets out the Government's 'planning policies on the conservation of the historic environment.' and goes on to say 'Guidance to help practitioners implement this policy, including the legislative requirements that underpin it, is provided in Planning for the Historic Environment Practice Guide.' I read that as meaning that in the Government's eyes, PPS5 sets out what sould be done and the Practice Guide how it should be done. Law only comes into play once a planning condition has been put in place.
