EH are the official archaeological advisor to all government departments, and that function is often delegated internally to the inspectors.
That means that on Government developments not subject to planning consent (e.g. trunk roads), EH rather than the County Archaeologist is the primary consultee on archaeology. County Archaeologists would only be consulted on a courtesy basis.
However, the role of EH is advisory - they cannot put the equivalent of planning conditions onto a scheme. Actual decisions are made by the government department concerned.
