The works for which consent is granted comprise:—

(a) certain agricultural, horticultural and forestry works of the same kind as those carried out lawfully in the same location and on the same spot within that location during the previous three years. “Carried out lawfully” means “carried out in accordance with the terms of a consent granted by order under Article 5 of the Order, or which would have been so carried out if during the period in question the monument had been a scheduled monument”;

(b) certain works for the repair or maintenance to a canal;

(c) certain works for the repair or maintenance of machinery;

(d) minimum works urgently necessary in the interests of safety or health subject to giving subsequent notice in writing as soon as reasonably practicable;

(e) certain works carried out in accordance with agreements made between the occupier of a scheduled monument and the Department under Article 19 of the Order.

Consent under this Order is for the purposes of Article 5 of the Order only and does not constitute any consent or authority for any other purpose.
