Abstract:		 A planning application (CB/13/03924/FULL) was submitted to Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) for the erection of two detached dwellings with detached garages and associated works. The site represents ground belonging to 2 Horslow Street, Potton and lies adjacent to 14-16 Bull Street. Though the PDA lies within the postulated extent of the medieval settlement of Potton, the only evidence of medieval activity revealed within the trial trenches was a fragment of probable Tudor brick found within a post-medieval pit. Only post-medieval and modern features were revealed, comprising landscaping features associated with the garden of 2 Horslow Street, some probable rubbish pits and the remnants of two walls. The trial trenching indicates that many areas of the PDA are likely to have been significantly truncated by post-medieval and modern features, particularly within the area of the eastern side of Trench 3 where the undisturbed geological deposits were only reached at a depth of c. 1.2m beneath the ground surface. The level of truncation varied across the rest of the site. Trenches 1-3 showed evidence of heavy tree disturbance, some caused by the recent removal of trees. There were also a number of modern and post-medieval rubbish pits, meaning clean natural deposits were typically not reached until c.0.8m below ground level. The extent of these post-medieval and modern features has left little of the ground undisturbed. Trench 4 had the best remaining natural ground level, reached at c.0.4m below the modern surface. The PDA lies within the grounds of Chigwell House, an 18th-century Grade II listed building and also within the Potton Conservation Area. Although the setting of the surrounding buildings will be affected by the proposed new cottages, this impact will be minimised by careful positioning on the site and by the use of materials sympathetic to the existing structures (TMV Architectural Design, undated).
