Abstract: |
It has been found that the impact on the heritage significance of the sixteen listed buildings within the 100m radius search area would be limited. The impact on the heritage significance of Berwick-upon-Tweed Conservation Area, and on the Scheduled Area of the Berwick Fortifications is considered, overall, to be very limited. The impact on known archaeological deposits within the proposed development site would be direct, and as a result will require further archaeological mitigation. The proposed piling foundation solution would directly damage the archaeology in the areas penetrated by the bores resulting in a very limited impact on the heritage significance of possible medieval deposits. Further excavations for supporting groundbeams, lift shafts and service connections would have a limited impact on the heritage significance of surviving archaeological remains of post-medieval origin. Buildings are known to have occupied the site from at least the 16th century, and evidence of post-medieval features including walls and surfaces have been confirmed by archaeological evaluation trenches in 2006. Further geotechnical work has concluded that archaeological deposits up to 4m in depth, including a well-preserved waterlogged layer beneath the post-medieval material, survive within the site. These remains represent a significant archaeological resource. |
