Well, you can always give it 10 years in the hopes that the UDP gets re-written (or a mythical LDF?)[:p]
Lately have been having fun with a Council-own development (alomst as bad as the church!!), where they are putting a really big underground building right beside a known 14th century church and graveyard (with a saxon antecedent floating around somewhere...)but try getting an eval done pre-determination? I think I was lucky to get a condition on at all. Can't decide if I want them to find the Saxon cemetery, purely out of spite, or if all fingers are crossed that there's nothing there!
But moaning aside - in several attempts to educate I have in the past given the planning departments jolly talks, which did improve things at least for a little while. Problems are, of course, that I never seem to managed the time to see all of them (and my worst offenders kept on cancelling) and the very transient nature of aussie and kiwi planners! Have you had any successes with them? Or just a brick wall?
