Welcome to my world. I fear I may have sounded a bit wet with my moaning.What I should make clear is that when a unit starts bargaining with sample rates or presents third rate geophsyic results I dont accept them. I stick by my guns. The last developer to breach his archaeological planning conditions was taken to court and fined many thousands of pounds.I get what I want or I refuse planning. I was moaning about the amount of time I spend, not the end results.I expect it from developers not from archaeologists. As for banning units from my jurisdiction, legally very tricky. I am just about to produce a standards document for my area, this will go into extreme detail about what is required at every stage, the planning conditions will refer to that document. Breach it and suffer the consequences.
