And lets not forget the the pre-1990 variant practice of coersion......if my memory serves me right the DGLA had an arrangement whereby a reluctant developer might be introduced to the EH Inspector who might drop the prospect of scheduling into a conversation. Generaly ensured the chequebook emerged post quick.
