Abstract: |
An application for development by Crest Nicholson PLC (the client), for 2.3 ha of residential development at land adjacent to Station Road, Bretforton is to be submitted to Wychavon District Council. As prequel to the application process, the client has commissioned an archaeological investigation in line with Section 12.128 of the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012). Dr John Halsted of Atkins Limited acting as Agent to Crest Nicholson PLC, commissioned Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd to conduct a programme of field evaluation consisting of the excavation of a series of trial trenches within the boundaries of the proposed development area (National Grid Ref SP 087 439) The groundworks consisted of the excavation of ten, 50m by 1.8m wide evaluation trenches and two 25m by 1.8m wide evaluation trenches. A series of diminish archaeological features representing the remains of ridge and furrow were identified within the majority of the evaluation trenches, the remains of the furrow were section but unfortunately no datable material was identified. Ridge and furrow is an archaeological pattern of ridges and troughs created by ploughing with non-reversible ploughs on the same strip of land each year. The results of the archaeological works will form part of the application submission, in line with Section 12.128 of the National Planning Policy Framework (DCLG 2012) |
