However, it is not the curator who enforces the condition it is the planner. Some of the planners I work with are excellent and when I need to go into the trenches - literally in some cases - to fight against incompetent or incomplete work they will support me. In other cases they do not feel it fulfils council 'policy' to enforce conditions. Now most of the jobs I work on are concerned with listed buildings where it is a criminal offence not to complete conditions. If you have archaeological conditions on listed building applications which are concerned with underground archaeology as well you have rather more power when you can walk up to the applicant and inform them they could well go to jail.
