	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p>The Binchester Roman Fort is a scheduled ancient monument. It is a criminal offence to disturb a scheduled ancient monument by carrying out works without Scheduled Monument Consent, or causing reckless or deliberate damage to the monument. To offer best protection, public access to the excavated parts of the Fort is managed and controlled in accordance with a Deed of Guardianship with Durham County Council. This means that, as Guardians, Durham County Council must allow access to the site, but are able to do so in such a way as protects and preserves the site for the future. The property will be sold subject to this Deed of Guardianship.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Sir Tony Baldry question first answered 10/09/2014 15:13:08 answering member 93 label Biography information for Sir Tony Baldry

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2014 answer text <p>The estate is being offered as a whole or in 10 separate lots. Lot 5 is a working farm and part of the farm includes largely unexcavated parts of the Binchester Roman Fort. The excavated part of the Fort, and the other unexcavated area, form part of Lot 6. The lotting takes account of a number of factors including practical boundaries and issues on the ground. For instance, if all of the unexcavated areas had been included in Lot 6, Binchester Hall Farmhouse and yard would be severed from the rest of the farm holding.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Sir Tony Baldry question first answered 10/09/2014 15:16:46 answering member 93 label Biography information for Sir Tony Baldry
