It is not EH's job to campaign against quarrying at Thornborough. It is their job to advise the planning authority on the information supplied in a planning application. If the evaluation suggests that the archaeology which will be impacted by the proposed quarrying is of national importance it is English Heritage's job to advise the planning authority of this.
It must also be remembered that there is a conservation plan being produced for Thornborough which may well contain recommendations concerning the ploughing of known sites within the study area.
