That can include large infrastructure projects (e.g. large highway schemes put forward by a County Council rather than by the Highways Agency), but it excludes infrastructure projects that are authorised by central government rather than through a planning application (e.g. all Highways Agency projects, rail projects, etc).

Actually, the 95% statistic sounds about right to me, if you are measuring by number of projects. The planning-system projects would include some very big ones, but the majority would be small, whereas most of those outside the planning system would be for large schemes (although that doesn't always mean a large archaeological project).
Most non-planning projects do still require an authorisation process (i.e. they are not under permitted development rights), usually in the past involving a Secretary of State, in the future the Infrastructure Development Commission. English Heritage and the County Mountie would still be consulted.

Quote:quote:Infra structure projects are part of the planning system full stopNot necessarily so. The planning system and the reach of PPG16 are both, stricty speaking, limited to projects that require planning permission.

Quote:quote:What proportion of developer-funded archaeology comes under Environmental Statements, permitted developments etc. rather than being guided solely by PPG16 under the watchful eye of the county mountie?Most Environmental Statements are actually done within the planning system (i.e. they are submitted together with a planning application), although they only amount to around 3% of the total number of planning applications.
