I ought to add that after the recent cuts NE are due to lose 1/3rd of their staff and as most of the archaeological community isn't aware of the vast amounts of money they pour into archaeology the in-house archaeologists are looking like an easy target - some regions are down to one staff member to cover 6 counties already.
Hopefully Chrysalis you can keep us updated on the situation at Natural England when the true extent of the proposed cuts is known. It will be sad if the organisation has to shed any of it's frontline staff - I think they are a good example of how a holistic approach to both the natural and heritage environment can be beneficial to all parties concerned.....
