Seems to me to be exactly how it should work. A resident at the/an appropriate point in the/a planning procedure complained/objected to the scheme/procedure that archaeology should have been considered in the planning application by the developer and they hadn?t. Back to developer to find an archaeologist (little old lady specialist) to concoct a consideration.
If I had any thoughts on the matter is that English Heritage, which said the council had not told it about the plans and it was only made aware because of a tip-off by a resident is talking gibberish in making out that it needed to be consulted at what point in the procedure.
Go and read the PPSs it says the developer should present evidence concerning the archaeology with the application. Whats probably more to the point is that the councils planning application forms probably don?t prompt the developer for any archaeological consideration.
