Abstract: |
Border Archaeology (BA) was instructed by A & E Elkins on behalf of RBG Housing to undertake a Heritage Statement (HS) with regard to a proposed social housing development of 32 dwelling units comprising a mixture of houses, duplexes and flats on the site of former sheltered housing units at Sam Manners House, 57 Tuskar Street Greenwich London SE10 9UJ (fig. 1).
Please note that due to travel restrictions as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has not been possible to undertake a detailed site visit as per usual practices. BA has endeavoured to use its experience in accessing alternative sources and methodologies to provide the relevant information and will look to carry out subsequent site visits at a later date once restrictions have lifted and if appropriate and so required. Archaeological Assessment The overall archaeological potential of the site has been assessed as Low to Moderate, which reflects the limited scope of the archaeological resource identified in the immediate vicinity of the study area although there is slightly increased potential for prehistoric and post-medieval remains. In view of the probable limited nature of the archaeological resource in the vicinity of the site, it is suggested that a watching brief on excavations for the foundation piles may be the most appropriate form of mitigation in this instance.
Heritage Assessment The overall magnitude of impact from the proposed development at Sam Manners House on designated and non-designated heritage assets in the immediate vicinity of the site has been assessed as Slight. This assessment reflects the limited number of heritage assets recorded in the vicinity of the site, which is not located within a Conservation Area, as well as the sensitive design of the proposed new residential units which respects the architectural character and setting of nearby heritage assets situated in Tuskar Street. |
