Abstract:		 The heritage statement comprises an assessment of the site which will: • Define the principal sources of information available for archaeological assessment (Section 3). • Present a catalogue (Section 4) and chronological synthesis (Section 5) of archaeological data derived from various sources. Accompanying base maps will locate established structures and features within, or in close proximity to, the assessment area. • Provide an assessment of archaeological potential and likely direct and indirect impacts upon the proposed development site and with respect to the setting of other heritage assets in its wider environs (Section 6). • Provide conclusions with respect to the known and potential archaeological significance of the assessment area (Section 7). • Recommend further work to define more clearly the nature of the archaeological record and facilitate management or mitigation of this resource (Section 8). This report constitutes a desk-based heritage statement undertaken by The Archaeological Practice Ltd with respect to a small roadside site lying north-east of Rochester House farm at Low Rochester, near Otterburn, Northumberland. The report incorporates an audit of both discrete and more extensive historical landscape components and presents a synthesis of the overall chronology of the defined area. It identifies cultural heritage constraints within the area of the proposed development and makes recommendations regarding the need or otherwise for further work to mitigate the impact of the scheme. The report also includes consideration of cultural heritage sites adjacent to the development site with particular consideration given to those sites considered in the context of visual impact constraints. It is concluded unlikely that any features or finds of cultural heritage significance survive in the assessment area, but any surviving there are likely to be impacted by the works as proposed. The indirect impacts of the proposals, including the impact of the proposed works programme, have also been assessed and it is concluded that the visual impact of the new build on other heritage assets and the wider landscape is likely to be negligible due to the distance to other heritage assets and lack of intervisibility with the majority of those within 1 km. It is recommended that, should the works proceed, an archaeological Watching Brief be carried out during any construction works where groundworks are likely to occur, in order to record any unknown archaeological remains as they appear.
