Private Eye picked up on possible/probable changes to planning regulation in their current issue. Haven't got the exact details to hand but it had something to do with not allowing newts to stand in the way of building. As most contractors seem to care more about not getting fined for animal welfare issues such as newts, badgers and dormice than about archaeology, it isn't hard to imagine that archaeology is going to come off badly in any future review.xx(
