Quote:Whys an evaluation trench exempt from planning permission
um, because it's not development. Next question.
Quote:Now why do I not like pre-determination trenches because they are illegal development
Policy says differently....
Quote:All evaluation trenches should be undertaken post-determination as a condition of the development
Even if this were not a completely wrongheaded approach, the trenches undertaken would still not be development, unauthorised or otherwise as they would likely be carried out under a pre-commencement condition. i.e. prior to development. There wouldn't be much scope for evaluating afterwards now would there?! :p
