Abstract: |
This desk-top assessment supports a planning application for the proposed redevelopment of land between nos. 96-126 and nos. 128-162 Melody Road, Wandsworth, London, SW18 2QG. The site lies in an APA as designated in the London Borough of Wandsworth's Development Management Policies Document. For most of its history the proposed development site lay in open fields. Cartographic evidence shows that the site was first developed at the end of the 19th Century with terraced housing. Following the Second World War pre-fabricated housing was built, being replaced with a car park, its current use. A review of the existing information has identified both designated and undesignated heritage assets within the study area which comprise stray, isolated finds dating to the prehistoric period and listed structures dating to the post-Medieval period. The significance of these heritage assets ranges from low for the locally listed buildings and buried archaeological remains to high for the listed buildings, APA and Conservation Area. It is unlikely however, that the proposed development will have any impact on the significance of these heritage assets. Based on the archaeological and cartographic evidence there is thought to be a low to medium probability of finding any prehistoric remains; and a low probability of finding Roman or post-Medieval remains on the site. Due to truncation of the site from earlier and the current development, the site is thought not to contain any archaeological deposits of importance which should be preserved in situ. |
