I have some relatively major infrastructure stuff which was outside the determination of the planning system (by the council). I have to admit, due to its far larger impact I have been far more involved than I normally would. To be honest I think that it will result in a higher quality of work due to the fact I can clearly justify spending far more time on this particular project.
Yes. Indeed I have seen some projects where the involvement of the 'curator' (county mounty, development control archaeologist - whatever) has been funded by the developer, via the govt department involved. Probably closer to a development tax than anything else we've seen...... The money was, of course, paid to the council not to the individual staff member...... And before anyone says anything, yes they did still make darn sure we did the job right.
