Scheme of Building Recording pertaining to the St James Centre Edinburgh

Scheme of Level 2 Archaeological Building Recording pertaining to the former Odeon cinema at 211 Hackney Road, London. Level 2 survey undertaken prior to demolition.

Building recroding - EH level 3

This includes a scheme of archaeological building recording pertaining to a Foundry at Phoenix Place. The aim of this programme of recording is to provide a long-term sustainable record of remaining sections of historic foundry building within the Site prior to its redevelopment. This will secure the proper recording of buildings prior to their demolition. The aim is also to enhance, through site analysis and research, knowledge of the foundry which was once located here. The scheme of building recording aims: Provide a history of the buildings and the foundry which was once located here; Where information permits, the identification of chronological building phases and uses; and A Level 2 record of the structures identified.

A heritage assessment prepared by Waterman Energy, Environment and Design Ltd (Waterman EED) on behalf of Lioncourt Homes to support the submission of a planning application for development of the Site. This report concludes that the proposed development of the Site would not have an impact on any designated heritage assets or their settings. However, there are several non-designated heritage assets, all of which are of low significance, which could potentially be affected by proposals for development of the Site, namely: The Tidbury Farm cluster of buildings; Nearby Ancient Woodland; Assets related to the planned enclosures of the eighteenth centuries (including historic hedgerows and field boundaries); Evidence of medieval ridge and furrow; and Cropmarks visible on aerial photography of possible pre-historic date. The effect on the Tidbury Green Farm cluster of buildings can be minimised by sympathetic design of future proposals, which should be in keeping with the rural nature of the area, for example by using local materials and techniques, and by respecting the proportions of residential units in the area. The effect on the assets related to the planned enclosure dating to the eighteenth century, including field boundaries and historic hedgerows could also be minimised by retaining land units and integrating historic hedgerows into future proposals as far as possible. The effect on sub-surface heritage assets such as ridge and furrow and crop-marks of possible pre-historic date would be mitigated by a programme of archaeological evaluation to be negotiated with the Local Planning Authority, after the submission of a detailed planning application.
