That is a very awkward phrase and I suspect is meant more to confuse the issue that to move the debate on.
To be pedantic, no. An archaeological condition on a planning permission will not require publication as the condition is just that, a condition on the permission that must be fulfilled in order for the permission to be valid. It is not the condition that needs to be published it is the results of the fieldwork carried out in order to satisfy that condition that should be published.
If a developer, who has been granted planning permission with a condition requiring archaeological work, chooses not to carry out the scheme for some reason, lets say for the sake of argument he cannot start the development due to personal ill health, then he will not have any requirement to publish anything. Despite the fact he has an archaeological condition attached to his planning permission. Hence why I feel your question is very badly worded.
Surely what Herr Unit means is that it reads a little as if every piece of archaeological work carried out as part of a condition on a planning application should be expected to be published, not the condition itself. Although I for one can't wait until 'Planning Conditions Monthly' goes into production!
I assume, and going on my own experiences, that is obviously not the case, but the wording is a little unhelpful.
