Abstract: |
The site comprised an area of approximately 3.629ha and was currently clear of any development. The site was not located within an Archaeological Priority Area and did not contain any SAMs or Listed Buildings. Very few entries existed within the Greater London SMR within the vicinity of the site. The site appeared to have been undeveloped up until the first quarter of the 20th century when the Hirst Marconi Research Centre was constructed. This building had a number of small basements distributed across the site. It was proposed that a number of both private and affordable flats and houses would be built upon the site with areas of landscaping and parking facilities. The new development would not involve basements. Geotechnical investigations had been conducted on the site in the form of boreholes. These revealed that made ground consisting of concrete, stone and brick existed across the site to a depth between 0.90 and 2.10m below ground level. On the basis of this research AOC recommended that no further archaeological investigation would need to be conducted upon this site. It appeared that very little in the way of development occurred upon the site until the early 20th century and very little archaeological evidence existed for the surrounding area. [Au(abr)] |
