The DBA is now a project in itself, where the client researches and collates ( via the archaeologists ) the information that should be already available. So it can be researched again the next time by the next client.
I think that was the point I was trying to make...Why should anyone (developer, researcher, interested 3rd party) have to pay for things time and time again when a definitive updated version of the archaeological potential could be compiled and held by the planning authority, perhaps funded by an access fee (sure to be less than the cost of commissioning a 'fresh' DBA). This also ties into Dino's point and would help ensure both the technical competence and integrity of the DBA.....
