Quote: IfA is the professional body for archaeologists and related professions concerned with the study and care of the historic environment. It promotes best practice in archaeology and provides a self-regulatory quality assurance framework for the sector and those it serves. IfA has over 3,000 members and more than 70 registered practices across the United Kingdom and abroad. Its members work in all branches of the discipline: heritage management, planning advice, excavation, finds and environmental study, buildings recording, underwater and aerial archaeology, museums, conservation, survey, research and development, teaching and liaison with the community, industry and the commercial and financial sectors.and without service level agrements THE executive of the IFA believes that their world inplodes. Why?
Well done Inverclyde Council. All I suggest that you do is put on the form that you supply to anybody seeking planning permission: put a little tick box section asking the developer to CONSIDER THE ARCHAEOLOGY. Then ask your case officers to see if it has been ticked......
I would be quite interested by what currum the executive of the ifa writes letter like this...was there some egm where the mebers said we better write a leietter about level service agrements
Quote: However, ending the provision of expert archaeological advice and services is not an acceptable way of addressing these difficulties and would expose the Council to serious risks by placing it in a position where it would be unable to comply with the requirements of Scottish Planning Policy and PAN 02/2011.I am surprise that the ifa does not mention which code has been broken by this accusation, surely not their latest standard for advice by people who are not archaeologists
Peter Hinton BA MIfA FSA FRSA FIAM Chief Executive, Institute for Archaeologists. has anybody dug with this person?
sherily this letter is not from the ifa but from some free loader.
Just out of interest- does this assilum have a chairperson what do they do?
all that is missing is some reference to staute law............dont hold your breath
Reason: your past is my past
