Sites Of Scheduled Ancient Monuments
EDM number 10 in 2006-07, proposed by Bob Russell on 15/11/2006.
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.
This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
