Background
The Ancient Monuments & Archaeological Areas Act 1979 only prescribes "Scheduled Monument Enforcement Orders" for Scotland & Wales. And although England has Section 12 Power to place ancient Monuments under guardianship (by showing an interest of ownership), As Guardian of the Monument, with Consent of a commissioner or the secretary of state. We want an actual Statutory Instrument made to protect our Scheduled Monument 1005806 from any further building or development & hereby pursue protection
