Abstract: |
SLR has been commissioned by MedicX Limited to provide this archaeological desk-based assessment of their proposed development of a c.0.52ha site at Turner Road, Colchester (the 'Site': NGR 599831, 227007; Figures 1 and 3). The proposed development consists of a two-storey care home with access road, carparking and small gardens at the margins. There are no designated or non-designated assets recorded within the Site. Within the Study Area there are three listed buildings and one scheduled monument. There is little evidence of earlier prehistoric activity within the study area. The Site appears to lie north of the urban area and outlying industrial and funerary zones of Roman Colchester and of the medieval town, the rural hinterland of Colchester: later prehistoric and Roman ditched plots and trackways have been found in the vicinity. Later assets in the Study Area include possible Civil War earthworks and industrial infrastructure. The site is small and has been previously developed, and although the possibility of archaeological remains being present within the Site cannot be ruled out, significant direct impacts on buried archaeological remains are considered unlikely. The designated assets are distant from the Site, and would be screened from it by intervening trees built-up areas and landform. No significant indirect impacts are predicted. In consequence no further archaeological work or other mitigation is recommended. |
