Not meaning to be pedantic One Man One Desk, but where under the planning system or EIA does it explicitly state that funders are not required to fund research? Surely nothing is mentioned about archaeological research one way or t'other.
I have worked on plenty of commercial projects where a requirement of the planning permission has been that developers fund post-site work to a level that would enable publication of the results of the work. By implication that requires research on both the primary data and its 'context' be it local, regional, national or international.
