I don't recall you mentioning this JA. Presumably you would have remembered a requirement for an archaeology excavation so I guess that the LPA has asked for a Phase 2 ground investigation, which is the real-world JCB + engineer follow on to check the research and presumptions in the Phase 1 desktop study.

I should have been more explicit - the excavation requirement was attached to the previous permission, which had the bog off in a corner (and we didn't object as although close to our land, was out of the way). They just decided to build the bog where it 1/2 stands now, and when we inquired why the council allowed it to be moved without consulting us, they replied they hadn't provided permission to move it, and also hadn't provided, amongst other things, the excavation report. So, building work stopped and they had to apply for new permission where it s now; the council deemed they no longer needed the report.
Apols for the confusion. There are other conditions after the bog is built like growing some evergreens and ensuring for 5 years that they paint the shed green and a couple of other minor things.
@Sooty25 , we did try negotiating to move it hack to where it was - to no avail. So, we have indicated that where in the past on a sunny Sunday morning at 11am where we decided not to mow the lawns (ride on mower) or trim the garden even though it was the only convenient time for us and we decided to leave it to the next convenient time, we won't bother in the future.. if it is best for us when they are in there, well, too bad..
