Quote:The whole basis of evaluation is for an informed planning decision to be made and thus if a planning condition should be imposed or the application be refusedI don't agree, even remotely. It was not the basis of PPG16. The planners may have ignorantly used ppg16 and evaluation to find out if there is any archaeology present on site which is a very lazy method but field archaeologists use evaluation to "try" and predict how much an "excavation" will cost. Every time.--Evan "digging" a site which has "no" archaeology on it will have a "cost". I don't think that any field archaeologist should accept undertaking any excavation without having costed the excavation based on an "evaluation". How else do you "agree" a cost with the planners or cost an excavation let alone stand by a invoice to a client?
What is being "evaluated"?
