A Scheduled Monument Enforcement protection Statutory Instrument for Castle Hill

Petition Details

Castle Hill is a univallate defended settlement in Kirklees Park.
Scheduled Monument Entry Number 1005806. We have an interest in recognition as Ancient Religious site. Kirklees Council planning application 2024/62/93494/W now threatens the heritage here. Therefore we want permanent resolution

Additional Information

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
