Kevin,
I doubt PPS 5 will cause many ads for new HER/SMR officers, virtually all HER/SMR holders have such a post with a person in post already. PPS 5 calls for a check on the HER/SMR, this is a basic step but..........
1. How far is this necessary in every case? clearly it is if there is an archaeological component but.....
2. How far are the charges made by HER justified when the HER officers are paid so little?
I will start a thread called PPS 5 debate agenda where we can suggest things that should be debated.
Dr Peter Wardle
(Putting SMRs on a statutory footing is Liberal Democrat Policy so as we are part of government an obvious good change to PPS 5 would be adding clarity by saying all LPAs must have access to an SMR and it is thus a requirement to fund them. At ?90 per hour you dont need many searches to pay for an officer to do them so how far is this necessary?)
