Explanatory note

These regulations, which apply only to England and Wales, prescribe for the purposes of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 the form of an application for scheduled monument consent, the form of the certificate which should accompany an application and the form of the notice which should be given to all persons, other than the applicant, who were owners of the monument at the beginning of the period of twenty-one days ending with the application.

The regulations also provide for related matters. In particular, they specify who is to be treated as the owner of a monument.
