Thanks tmsarch. I think it is a horses for courses approach. I was lucky I suppose. though to be honest, half the planners would also try and slip stuff through without me seeing. 
ahem cough. one even took to putting a standard watching brief condition on anything...
Triggers will have to be robust. and for me, given the nature of teh county I had. it was mostly rural soon to be covered in over 24000 extra houses as a dormitory for Edinburgh. I had blanks everywhere, so had to deal with each application on potential more often that being able to have triggers.
That said, when I first started, I put a 5% eval onto a massive area which resulted in over 2km of linear trenches. result.... Nada! could you do that in south England!
So I take your point on that. and well made.
Perhaps Unit should be a curator for a week --- oh the fun! ... Units Chip can be seen from Space
