Abstract:		 Planning permission was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) for a new residential dwelling with attached garage at Silsoe House, Silsoe. The proposals also included a parking area, paths, fences, cycle store and the removal of two trees. The Central Bedfordshire Council Archaeologist (CBCA) advised that the development site had the potential to contain heritage assets with archaeological interest. Consequently, a condition (no. 6) was attached to the planning permission, requiring the submission of a written scheme of archaeological investigation (WSI). Discussions with the CBCA determined that the initial stage of the archaeological works would comprise evaluation of the site by means of trial trenching. The only archaeological features revealed within the trial trench were two parallel ditches corresponding with the location of a field boundary and the course of a former routeway dating back to at least the 18th century. This routeway was replaced during the later 19th century by the current Ampthill Road which lies c. 28m further to the south. Several layers were revealed overlying the northernmost ditch; they are likely to be associated with the levelling of the area of the former routeway and the creation of the existing garden on the south side of Silsoe House. Though the revealed features are tangible evidence of the morphology of a small area of Silsoe during the post-medieval period, they can be considered to be of no more than local significance, having no potential to address research priorities identified in the regional research frameworks. The potential archaeological impact of the proposed new dwelling is, therefore, of negligible significance.
