Schedule 2 – Functions of Historic Environment Scotland in Relation to Scheduled Monuments Part 5 – Appeals and referrals from Historic Environment Scotland Chapter 2 – Referral of certain applications
147.Chapter 2 of Part 5 of the schedule makes provision for the referral of applications for (and related to) scheduled monument consent from Historic Environment Scotland to the Scottish Ministers by inserting a new section 3B into the 1979 Act. This enables the Scottish Ministers to call in an application for decision by them instead of by Historic Environment Scotland, offering harmonisation with wider planning procedures.
