"During the run-up to the launch of the draft ministers repeatedly offered assurances that the NPPF was not intended to weaken protection"
...and you trust them! Sorry their 'assurances' are meaningless until backed by written legislation, they will SAY anything to avoid a public backlash. Am I the only one who feels the main organisation representing archaeologists should take a much stronger line on this, that is now where near as accomodating to the non-speak of politicians?
Peter Hinton, IfA Chief Executive, said........."We have had a good working relationship with Government so far, and we are confident that this will continue during the remainder of the consultation period as we present our concerns and proposed solutions to ministers and officials"
Thats because your concerns and proposed solutions never trouble the government to enforce meaningful, positive change towards archaeology!
Rant over
