This is possibly not the place to mention that there was a rumour that the access condition was to become the recommended condition for the new PPS15â¦
From discussions with a lawyer about the access condition last time a developer told me they would leave their gates open and await the wandering band of archaeologists to observe the construction, the lawyer pointed out to me that the condition has to be read in relation to PPG16. The other point is that if no interested party turned up to witness the groundworks then the developer has an unauthorised building as they have been unable to build within the conditions of their consent.
I will have a dig and see if I can find the email..
