I think we have to get back in touch with reality here. There is no suggestion that this kind of thing is being suggested. It would be an absurdity. It would mean excavating most of the UK. The key change in PPS 5 is that the mitigation is nojust recording and it in many respects never has been.
A developer is mitigating damage and if siomething is not been damaged then it does get looked at simple. Both PPS 5 and PPG 16 regard preservation as the best option. As excavation is destructive the notion that a bigger area should be examined is a none starter.
