Abstract: |
The site lay within the Conservation Area of Regent Street, but did not contain any Listed Buildings, or SAMs. The site was not located within an Area of Special Archaeological Priority as designated by the City of Westminster. There were, at present, no definite plans for the redevelopment of the site. The archaeological potential within the study area was low. Human action in the immediate vicinity of the site appeared to have been characterised by marginal agricultural activity. The archaeological potential of the site was modified and diminished by the probable impact of previous developments upon the site. Previous excavations in relatively modern times, such as the excavation of basements, and World War II bomb damage were likely to have truncated and destroyed the majority, or indeed entirety, of any archaeological remains. It was not anticipated that extensive undisturbed archaeological remains were likely to be extant upon the proposed development site. Therefore, AOC recommended that no further archaeological investigations were deemed necessary. [Au(abr)] |
