It is an interesting situation, where IF there is no planning application required to carry out dertain works on a site - a company can find itself carrying out works for a client that are outwith 'control' from the planning arch.. as they would be unaware of any works (via the planning list) Therefore a company could find itself in such a position. If they refuse - then the developer 'could' carry out works without archaeologists present,... BUT, by inviting archaeologists in, they can say ' look.. how responsible am I... I did not have to bring in archaeologists.. but I did!" I would agree that when it came to planning... as a development curator, I would go... wtf! but by then it would be too late... site sterilised..
If the company had not gone in... then everything gone with no record... ?
The big question is.... can a developer 'box out' or lay concrete without planning being informed anyway? and would planning even bother informing the DC arch? Would a DC arch be able to place conditions on something that needed no conditions?
