Sarah,
I believe that an HER may be regarded as formally adopted if, rather than being adopted in its own right by motion of the council or some such, it is mentioned
in an adopted document, such as the Local Plan.
The HER is certainly mentioned in the adopted Core Strategy and will, all things being equal, be mentioned in the local plan when adopted.
Maybe the real issue is as to whether being adopted, in either form, means the HER is adopted for ever or whether it only lasts for a specific period?

Subject: HER Formal Adoption
Dear all,
Apologies, this isn't really a Friday afternoon type question but I hope you'll still answer :)
Its been a few years since anyone asked on the list about which HERs were formally adopted. In fact I think the last person to do it might have been me about 4 years ago! I think this may be
a topic of interest not only to ourselves but to any HERs who have been undertaking audits.
What I would like to know is, have any HERs been formally adopted in the last 5 years? Is there any public documentation you can point us in the direction of about it?
There is a little bit about Formal Adoption in Informing the Future of the Past (http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/ifp/Wiki.jsp?page=SectionA.5#section-SectionA.5-AdoptionOfTheHERByTheLocalAuthority)
including a link to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 if you really want to get into it!
all the best
Sarah
