Any chance of further and better particulars about which bit of "the North" you're talking about? (obviously not the actual place or curator involved - AUP and all that).
I have to say that this doesn't really fit my own experience of working up country, where we usually involve EH and the DC archaeologists from the outset.
Afraid not, it might make things a bit too obvious. The reaction of that particular DC officer to developments is always in proportion to the archaeology, and he never misses a thing. There can be problems however with the planning officers releasing the conditions before everything is sorted
A lot of good work is done in the area and the curators have a good relationship with EH and, as far as I can tell, the contractors.
The planning officers might be more interested if the archaeology was as "interesting" as it can be in the South, but it isn't and the DC work is differant in proportion to that.
Doesn't ring a bell :?
