I was wondering what the role of Cambridgeshire County Council Development Control section is in these matters and why to date no statement has been made by their archaeological officer. A number of the developments requiring archaeological intervention that Councillor Melton seems to have taken against, would almost certainly have had a condition attached by the county, rather than district council. Infact checking the Cambridge County Council report for last year (2009-2010) of 94 applications dealt with by the county for the Fenland District, 76 had archaeological conditions attached. I am guessing that Cambridge CC will continue their role after July 1st ...... or is there another agenda here?
