Abstract:		 Conditional Planning Permission was granted for the 'Demolition Of Former Soap Factory Building And Erection Of 37 Dwellings With Provision Of Landscaping, Access Roads And Ancillary Works' on land at the former Castle Soap Works, The Callis, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire (Application Ref.: 13/00517/FULM). The proposed development site was centred on NGR: SK 35638 16978. Previous archaeological investigations on the site have found that it was first developed between c. 1735 and 1837, and that it was subsequently occupied by a water works, a glue- and leather factory and ultimately, the Castle Soap Works. The known history of the site suggested that plots 36 and 37 of the proposed development overlay buried post-medieval remains relating to the site's former use. In accordance with the requirements of NPPF, the Principal Planning Archaeologist for Leicestershire County Council, acting as advisor to NWLDC, recommended that an archaeological 'Strip, Map, Record' exercise was undertaken where the proposed development overlapped the historic footprint of the site; together with associated monitoring and recording. Phase 1 clearly demonstrated the leatherworks as the first structural development on site. The capping of the tanks and overlying yard area provided evidence of later development, possibly relating to the change of use following the establishment of the Castle Soapworks in the late 19th century. Finally, modern wall 107 provided evidence of a third phase of construction not recorded on any available maps. During Phase 2 an undated brick built tank structure was observed.
