It was jonmor who came on and diverted (for want of a better word) the thread talking about quantifying the value of heritage. .


Apologies for diverting the thread ttj, I'll try to wrap it up: I've realised from reading the responses that our conversations are at cross-purposes. To my eyes, George and Nigel's responses did not appear to make any sense.

But there is a circumstance where my comments do not make sense:

If the consultation is primarily of an archaeological nature and concerns an archaeological scheme with some civil engineering as a side issue, then their comments perhaps make a lot of sense (I don't know much about archaeological works so perhaps my comments make no sense whatsoever)

On the other hand, if the consultation is primarily a highways (government) run exercise concerning a civil engineering scheme which has some archaeological issues, then George and Nigel's comments are an interesting and innovative approach.
