SITES OF SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENTS

Early day motion 10, tabled 15 November 2006 by Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 33 members.

That this House places great importance on the protection of sites of scheduled ancient monuments; believes that sites so designated should not be built on; is alarmed that some developers and public bodies seek to circumvent the scheduling, including pressurising English Heritage to grant consents to enable developments to take place; calls on English Heritage to resist and to publicise every occasion when such pressure is attempted; urges the Government to publish an annual register giving details of every application made for consents to develop sites of scheduled ancient monuments, and the decision made in each case; and further urges the Government to introduce legislation so that in cases where there is objection to proposed development of a site of scheduled ancient monument there is a public inquiry.
