Scheduled monuments
A scheduled monument is a site that’s legally protected because of its national historical and archaeological importance.
Scheduled monuments might be:
- archaeological sites such as ancient burial mounds
- more recent remains, such as from the coal industry or World War 2
'Scheduling' refers to the selection process carried out by Historic England.

Working on a scheduled monument
To carry out work on a scheduled monument you need permission from your regional Historic England office.
Scheduled monuments are subject to greater planning controls and any works carried out within the scheduled area require scheduled monument consent.
You may also need planning permission from the council.
