Thanks for the response Stephen. I don't doubt piles have a signficant impact on waterlogging as well - I was merely trying to flag up that the impact of excavation on waterlogged deposits has to be considered when devising a mitigation strategy, and that it isn't as risk free as perhaps it is sometimes considered. I certainly wasn't trying to sugest that "not dealing with the actual threatened site in order to preserve possible adjacent sites" was a appropriate strategy!
