Abstract:		 The proposed development site appears to have lain beyond the southern limits of the burgeoning harbour settlement of Parton, until 1707, when part of the site may have been purchased for a ropewalk. Many plots in this area of Parton were subsequently sold off in the early 18th century, predominantly for industrial use, including for a tannery and oil yard to the south. By 1810, some of the plots had houses on, in the north-eastern and south-eastern corner of the site, with much of the site developed between 1865 and 1899, and occupied by around 50 houses by 1899. This must have been as a direct result of the establishment of Parton Colliery to the east. The earlier buildings at the north-eastern extent were cleared by 1968 and the remainder by 2003, presumably as part of an organised clearance scheme following early to mid 20th century depression and late 20th century degradation. Some upstanding structural remains were observed within the south-eastern corner of the site during the site visit. Surviving sub-surface traces of these very early 18th century ropewalk, buildings and boundaries, or later 19th century terraced houses and church hall, may survive within the site boundary. A development within the site boundary would result in no change to the heritage significance of the other 11 known heritage assets of local and negligible significance within the wider study area. The possibility of as-yet unknown buried remains surviving within the proposed development site predating 1810 cannot be ruled out, though these may already have been detrimentally affected by known post medieval development.
