People are entitled to oppose the quarry extension for various reasons, but in my opinion the potential archaeology on the site is not one of them. Even English Heritage have stated that the current research has successfully characterised the archaeology of the area, and that 75% of the Ladybridge site holds no archaeology of significant interest.
I have to agree with this post, and Merc's and others. From what I understand of the site, and having read the WSI and seen the website, I would be pretty pleased to have this level of archaeological response on a quarry in my area - it seems entirely reasonable to me, and looks as though a great excavation and interesting publication will come out the other side, so that the best possible information will be collected and disseminated.
