(bit pissed, just back from the pub)
The IFA are totally independent from the enforcement teams in the various councils I cover. I can use a judgment they have made, and explain it to a developer or planner independently of whether the council in question support it or are willing to support me. It is a benchmark I can use in support of my work as a curator which cannot be argued with by developers or planners who want an easier life - IT IS DOWN TO THE PLANNER WHETHER SOMETHING IS ENFORCED, IT IS NOT DOWN TO THE CURATORIAL ARCHAEOLOGIST. The IFA gives us a stronger argument to make to the planner. I can repeat myself as often as you chose, probably about once more, curators only advise; planners may have many more reasons than archaeology for making a decision. Making this decision may also include discharging an archaeological condition against the advice of a curator.
God I would love the power to regulate a market however I am an archaeologist I do not work in market management.
