I knew this topic would come back eventually........
I remember a few years back (can't remember whether in this forum or [u]the other</u> one), it was suggested that whilst developers could be held legally responsible for the costs of archaeological excavation (as part of a planning consent) there was no such legal obligation to fund post-excavation archaeological 'work'.
Does anyone know whether this situation has ever been clarified. Do developers [u]have</u> to pay for post-ex work?
