Vulpes said I am completely misinformed and a curator his should know as he works with conservation officer types who dont know how to record a building.
I suggest you read the following:
http://www.ihbc.org.uk/membership/docs/A...d_Comp.pdf
"which says:
4. RESEARCH/RECORDING/ANALYSIS: Ability to carry out or commission
research, analysis and recording of the historic environment and to maintain records accordingly.
4.1 To be able to advise on appropriate techniques and levels of recording required for
historic buildings or sites affected by development proposals and identify the most
appropriate bodies or individuals to undertake such work.
4.2 To be able to make rapid and emergency recording of buildings and groups of
buildings affected by development proposals including archival research.
4.3 To be able to plan, prepare and execute a programme of detailed recording of
structures and sites affected by development proposals, including photographic and
graphic representation using conventional drawing techniques and/or CAD."
I am worried that a curator does not know this and thinks that any archaeologists can undertake building recording. The clause asked for MIFA or MIHBC or eqvivalent qualifications seems perfectly fair enough to me.
To be "Wednesday Unreasonable" as David suggests is also not applicable. To be Wednesbury unreasonable you have to be so unreasonable that no other no LPA would ask for the thing in question.
