This guide explains what scheduling means for you as the owner or occupier of a scheduled monument and summarizes the main provisions of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 (as amended) (‘the 1979 Act’), which is the legal framework for the protection of scheduled monuments. The guide does not attempt to be fully comprehensive and you are strongly advised to consult English Heritage, or seek independent professional advice, before carrying out any works that might affect the site of a scheduled monument.

Scheduled Monuments - A guide for owners and occupiers.

Text version

Scheduled monuments are our most cherished, nationally important archaeological sites and landscapes. They include prehistoric burial mounds, stone circles and hill forts, Roman towns and villas, medieval settlements, castles and abbeys and the industrial structures of our more recent past. They are a unique inheritance that tell the story of many generations of human endeavour and life. They create our sense of time and place, and add greatly to the distinctiveness of our towns and countryside.

The EU's Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive, which came into force in July 2004, aims to integrate environmental decisions into the planning process with the aim of promoting sustainable development. Various plans and programmes will require a SEA and English Heritage is one of the statutory consultees. English Heritage has worked with the Environment Agency, English Nature and the Countryside Agency to draw up some joint guidelines entitled 'SEA- Consultation Bodies' Services and Standards for Responsible Authorities'.

Save Our Streets Campaign - Street Clutter Audit. Carry out an audit on a street near you and send it to your local council.

A guide to outline the selection criteria used when designating street furniture.

Signing, lighting and CCTV play an integral role within our streets and are there to improve legibility and safety for all road users.When designing these elements into the street it is best to take a ‘Less Is More’ approach, even in streets that are not in any specially designated environment, though this is particularly important when locating these features in more sensitive areas.

The purpose of a street audit is to look at the quality of the street environment in an objective way. It enables each of the elements within it to be valued in accordance with their purpose and quality. A range of toolkits is available for both the professional and community to use.The range and type of audit requirements will depend on the criteria and final use for which the appraisal is intended, but generally speaking they involve consulting a range of people so as to include a broad spectrum of views, often beyond the usual highway engineer’s expertise.

Historic areas are sensitive to the colour and amount of visual street clutter which can reduce the quality of its character.Yellow lines form part of this visual clutter and can detract from the built form, especially in small, narrow streets.The removal of such lines is a goal for conservation areas, but when seen to be essential they should be marked as 50mm wide and primrose or cream in colour.

Pedestrian guardrails have been used extensively since the 1940s, as part of the ongoing attempt to reduce conflict between pedestrians and vehicles in town centres. It has been especially favoured on the approaches to pedestrian crossings, and on signal controlled junctions where the pedestrian desire line was different to the safe controlled route.

Historic surfaces form an essential part of these areas and are an asset which needs careful consideration to help safeguard them.These materials form the foreground to our buildings and add considerable value to the appearance of the built form.

Increasing traffic volumes are putting pressure on many roads and streets throughout the country, many of which were never designed for such use. Historic areas in particular are more sensitive to high vehicle speeds and volumes and need careful consideration of ways of calming the traffic.

Historic areas are more sensitive to the colour and types of paving used, so the standard red and buff coloured concrete blistered paviors can often be inappropriate for their surroundings, being in close proximity to buildings of special architectural and historical interest.

Traffic signs and markings cannot be varied from a prescribed type without the authorisation of the Secretary of State. However Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (TSRGD), offer Highway Authorities a great deal of scope in providing signs to suit sensitive environments, without the need for Department for Transport (DfT) approval. Guidance on the use of TSRGD can be found in the Traffic Sign Manual.

Through time many streets have become the victims of street clutter as a result of the inclusion of excessive amounts of street furniture: conventional parking and direction signs, advertising, and ad hoc signing to reduce specific inappropriate activities. Each of these combine to create a foreground that is confused and cluttered, where all emphasis has been taken away from a pleasant built environment.

White lines are used in our streets as a standard way of providing help to vehicle users, by giving out a variety of messages. Road markings are traffic signs and are important in helping users understand the road conditions they are travelling through. All lines on the highway must conform to the Traffic Signs Regulations & General Directions, but this states the standard to be adopted only if the highway authority decides that markings are appropriate for that location.

This manual offers guidance on the way in which our streets and public open spaces are managed.These spaces, sometimes known as the ‘public realm’, range from city squares to country lanes.Their appearance is often the product of several different agencies each with its own priorities. A co-ordinated approach can help provide an environment that is safe, enjoyable and appropriate to its surroundings

In many streets and public spaces, the clutter of uncoordinated street furniture and signs gets in the way and masks local character. The initial stage of any enhancement scheme should be an audit of existing street furniture and the removal of surplus elements. Best practice uses careful siting of street furniture, to manage movement and replace the need for physical barriers. Where guardrails are required for safety reasons, they should be an integral part of the streetscape.

Some traffic management designs can be difficult to integrate into an older streetscape and there can be no standard solution. Each feature or device should relate in its design and materials to the overall townscape to ensure that traffic calming reinforces rather than diminishes local character.Traffic calming measures using a combination of traditional materials and devices may help to secure the right balance. Further guidance is set out in Traffic Advisory Leaflet 1/96:Traffic Management in Historic Areas.

Historic buildings take many shapes and forms and as many uses, from simple places of worship to highly services office buildings. Nearly all these buildings, however, contain some form of electronic equipment such as alarm systems, telephones, computers, fax machines, modems, CCTV, tills and in places of worship, electronic organs, lightning controls and sound reproduction systems.
