Commentary on Sections Part 2 — Monuments of special historic interest Chapter 2 — Schedule of monuments of national importance Section 4 — Notification of owner etc. where the schedule is amended
34.This section sets out how the Welsh Ministers must serve notice after they have amended the schedule by adding a monument, removing a monument or amending the entry for a monument. Notice must be served on the specified recipients as soon as possible after an amendment is made to raise awareness of its implications — owners and occupiers, for instance, need to be alerted that scheduling imposes certain prohibitions on unauthorised works. Unless the amendment removes a monument from the schedule, the notice must specify the date that the Welsh Ministers made the amendment and be accompanied by a copy of the entry or amended entry in the schedule.
