Think it`s high time that PPG16 was filed in a very dark dungeon under the heading "oops". Seen plenty of extremely important sites hacked by muppets.PPG 16 only requires the developer to carry out the minimum required.Is this the legacy we are willing to leave for future generations? The rate at which development is carried out today would surely call for an extremely desperate overhaul of this current heritage ethic.PPG 16 has more loopeholes in it than Bliars propoganda. Whilst I concede that it was an improvement in its time-that was 25 years ago.Have said this time and time again-ppg 16 says "compromise" once. In practise, after countless "compromises", at the point of trowel-it`s barely recognisable.The bare,minimalist,shaved,overly compromised result is that the archaeology is shafted.For profit.
Even if they started thinking about it now, it would probably be a decade before any new legislation would be drafted, just look at the delays imposed on the new scheduling legislation (as far as I know it is posponed indefinitely).
