I have already quoted at length on this reply. However, I wonder how pleased council tax payers will be to learn that he is wasting money on commissioning a survey of all archaeological interventions over a period of years. What he is missing is the whole point of why we have heritage protection measures in place, it is to investigate the 'archaeological potential' the fact that at times, maybe many, no big discoveries are made is proof the system works. When the incinerators, waste disposal plants, landfill sites and wind farms start appearing people might wish they still had recall to heritage and environmental measures to help prevent uncontrolled development!
