So, as far as I can tell from the logic of your argument:
- no planning permission for any development anywhere should be given without an intrusive trial excavation;
- no existing information on the presence/absence of archaeology, its nature or its layout should be taken into account in deciding whether to trial trench or in designing the trench layout;
- no archaeological information that comes from sources other than digging a hole is worth considering.
Have I got it right?
If so, to quote your own comment - there is no hope.
