And another thought, if you have not already done so, it might be worth asking EH legal for their assistance?

Subject: Re: [HERFORUM] HER permissions
Thank you all for your replies so far. I agree fully with all your
comments; I don't see how we could maintain a comprehensive record of
historic assets etc when there will be some landowners who, for whatever
reason, won't wish others to know what may or may not be on their land.
I understand some information is too sensitive for full public access,
but I always believed our duty of care was towards the archaeology not
the owners. And as someone has rightly mentioned, trying to keep track
of changing owners, and even getting access to ownership details in the
first place, would take up all of my time and all of the HE service
budget alone. It would be impossible to run a fair and transparent
service imho.
This has come out of blue Rachel, and yes legal are involved. While not
denying there is an undesignated monument on a piece of land, the
landowner is annoyed that I've created a record for it without getting
prior permission. I've worked in HERs for about 13 years and don't
remember this cropping up before. Unfortunately, now that I need it, I
can't find anything actually written down on paper to justify why I
don't need their permission.
