Compliance and Enforcement at Scheduled Monuments

Front cover of Compliance and Enforcement at Scheduled Monuments

HES is responsible for the protections in the 1979 Act of Parliament. We give permission for works at scheduled monuments through a process called scheduled monument consent. We investigate any works that happen without our permission.

We call the process of making sure that any unauthorised works are handled appropriately ‘compliance’. Where the law has been broken, we can take enforcement action.
