The Ancient Monuments (Claims for Compensation) (England) Regulations 1991

Sections 7, 9, and 46 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 make provision for the payment of compensation where scheduled monument consent is refused or granted subject to conditions, where works affecting a scheduled monument cease to be authorised, and where damage has been caused to land or chattels by the exercise of powers of entry and certain other powers under the 1979 Act. Section 36(8) of the National Heritage Act 1983 makes provision for compensation from the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England in respect of any damage to land or chattels caused in the exercise of a power of entry by a person authorised by the Commission for the purpose of obtaining information for inclusion in the Commission’s records.
