(It sounds like I like rules, I don't particularly, but I think we're talking about rules as in societal consensus. The people looking after Silbury, Skara Brae, Stonehenge, you'd like to think they are people who have the sites' protection at heart, and they're experienced / educated people who have been hired for their expertise. So if they decide we shouldn't trample all over Silbury etc, in this case I'm willing to believe that it's quite a good decision)"

Yep, I'd go with that too. Although I would add the caveat that the heritage bodies don't always know best, as views do have a habit of changing over the years. But I would give them the benefit of the doubt on the basis that they have a degree of expertise that I sure don't.
