In a way Uo1 does have a point, although it gets us into a catch 22 situation. Should evaluation trenching be allowed to go ahead prior to granting of planning permission?
Trenching can, after all, be quite destructive to a landscape and trenches are often backfilled in a rush. If development was canned after the eval a nice greenfield site could be left buggered. Perhaps we need to apply for planning consent to dig eval trenches....
