I wish I believed that but I take the introduction of Advice No 2 "Works other than those of a minor nature are likely to be acceptable only where they would be in the best long-term interests of the conservation of the remains or there are other important planning justifications” as the Government reserving the right to ride roughshod over protected landscapes if it feels like it by citing "important planning justifications". Sounds pretty much like "never mind the Rule of Law, we'll rule by decree when we feel like it and these Guidelines are for show only".
