ok I see where you are comming from, I guess things are different in different counties; as far as my patch is concerned I always put a WB condition on that covers all intrusive groundworks; it may be that this is overkill on some sites but its in place if I need it. When I monitor I speak to the developers agents and construction teams and make sure I understand the scope of works, added to that I have my fellow council officials reporting back to me, building control, highways and enforcement who will all contact me if they see a breach of condition. Building designs should not alter after detailed planning consent is given, certainly not extending into new areas.
