Abstract:		 Border Archaeology (BA) has been instructed by Untitled Practice LLP to undertake an Archaeology Desk-Based Assessment (ADBA) in connection with planned improvements to c. 1.5km of West Hove’s seafront − including improved outdoor sport facilities and a new sport hub building set within an enhanced ‘linear park’ − following receipt of Levelling Up Funding from the government. This ADBA assesses the impact of the proposed development on archaeological (buried) remains. It forms an initial stage of investigation of the proposal Site and may be required in relation to the planning process, so that the local planning authority can formulate an appropriate response in the light of the impact upon any known or potential heritage assets, defined as parts of the historic environment and considered significant because of their historic, evidential or aesthetic and/or communal interest. The proposed development area − which covers approximately 109,465 sq. m. and is located c. 3.2km to the WNW of Brighton Palace Pier − comprises the Western Lawns of West Hove seafront, extending from Hove Lagoon in the W (NGR: TQ 26826 04649; c. 6.5m AOD) to King Alfred Leisure Centre in the E (NGR: TQ 28215 04433; c. 7.7m AOD). The Site is bounded by Kingsway (A259) to the N, Hove Street to the E, Basin Road South to the W, and the seafront esplanade to the S. While the coastal location of the Site suggests there is potential for buried archaeology and waterlogged palaeo-environmental remains to survive, the archaeological potential of the Site has been assessed as Low to Moderate, with particular reference to encountering evidence of buried remains associated with the Romano-British, medieval and/or post-medieval periods. The potential of encountering evidence for prehistoric remains has been assessed as Low. Based on the above assessment, it is respectfully suggested that should any groundworks be undertaken as part of the improvement works, then an appropriate programme of archaeological works will be required to determine the survival (extent, depth and significance) or absence of buried archaeological features and deposits within the Site, the details to be agreed with the Archaeological Officer at East Sussex County Council.
