Research
These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.
Answering them wil help us learn more about the Scheduled monuments consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.
-
Do we understand the lifecycle of a Scheduled monuments?
-
Do we understand how the data is created/produced?
We expect, based on the attribution in the identified dataset, that this was produced using Ordnance Survey basemaps.
-
Where will or should the data be used?
It is likely that this data will be used by developers/landowners/site promoters to understand the presence of scheduled monuments and what this means for development.
-
What other planning considerations does it interact with?
- Local plans - Scheduled Monuments are referenced regularly in local plans (also under the guise of 'heritage assets'), so we think that this consideration feeds into the process of creating a local plan.
-
Who are the statutory consultees for Scheduled monuments?
Historic England
-
Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Scheduled monuments? How do we expect them to use Scheduled monuments?
It is likely that this data will be used by developers/landowners/site promoters to understand the presence of scheduled monuments and what this means for development.
-
What are the planning needs for this data?
It is useful to have this data on the platform, as if you are the owner of a scheduled monument (or are acting on behalf of the owner) and you wish to carry out works to the monument, you will need to apply for prior written permission from the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. This is for works either above or below ground level. The procedure is known as Scheduled Monument Consent or SMC.
Certain development works to your property may require planning permission from your local authority, but obtaining planning permission does not remove the need for Scheduled Monument Consent.
It is likely that where scheduled monuments are present, Local Plan policies will account for them. Local Plans are likely to include a policy relating to the conservation of heritage and archaeological structures, as well as setting out mitigation required.
-
Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Scheduled monuments data?
It is likely that this data will be used by developers/landowners/site promoters to understand the presence of scheduled monuments and what this means for development.

From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Scheduled monuments data available?
