Abstract: |
Nazareth House comprises modern buildings used as a convent, chapel and care home by the Sisters of Nazareth but built on the site of Beardwood Cliff, a mid 19th century house formerly occupied by Daniel Thwaites, M.P for Blackburn and a member of a local well-known brewing family. The redevelopment proposals are to demolish the existing convent and outbuildings and to provide a new convent and extra care apartments on the northern part of the site. The existing care home and the chapel will be retained. An archaeological assessment of the grounds of Nazareth House was carried out by J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy on behalf of Wyngates Property Service Limited in March 2007 when a number of still extant garden features associated with Beardwood Cliff were identified. Copies of this report have been deposited with Blackburn Community Library and with Lancashire County Archaeology Service (LCAS) Historic Environment Record (HER).A condition requiring a programme of archaeological work to deal with these features was attached to the planning permission for the proposed development ( Condition 11 of Application Number.10/07/1023). This condition follows the advice formerly given by central government as set out in Planning Policy Guidance: Planning and the Historic Environment (PPG 15) and Planning Policy Guidance: Archaeology and Planning (PPG 16) issued by the DoE but now contained in Policy HE 12 of Planning Policy Statement No. 5 which came into force on 23/3/2010. LCAS has recommended that the programme of archaeological work should be restricted to a photographic survey.The planning condition required that the appointed archaeological consultant should prepare a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) to be agreed by the planning authority. A WSI was duly prepared and submitted to both the planning authority and LCAS who are their archaeological advisors A copy of this WSI is contained in Appendix 1 to this report. |
