So in your ideal world, planners just let you get on with it and don't trouble their pretty little heads about archaeology?
And BTW, the public already monitor archaeological work in advance of development. They do it through the planning system, via their elected representatives in local government, and through the officers those representatives employ to provide the necessary expertise for monitoring.
