Commentary on Sections Part 2 — Monuments of special historic interest Chapter 7 — General Section 74 — Crown land
238.Section 74 sets out how this Part applies to Crown land. A monument on Crown land may be scheduled. Any restrictions imposed and powers conferred by this Part apply to Crown lands, but not so as to affect any interest of the Crown in the land. In practice, this means that prior to granting scheduled monument consent on Crown land, Cadw, acting on behalf of the Welsh Ministers, would consult with the appropriate Crown authority to check if its interest in the land would be affected.
239.Subsection (4) does not permit a person to exercise a power of entry on Crown land without the consent of the appropriate Crown authority. Nor does it permit the compulsory purchase of an interest in Crown land held otherwise than by or on behalf of the Crown without such consent.
240.“Crown land” and “appropriate Crown authority” are defined in section 207.
