Abstract: |
The proposed development site has remained relatively unchanged since the medieval period from when it was part of the lands of the North Cray Place Estate. From 1931, when estate lands were sold off in lots, the surrounding area became increasingly developed for housing. Part of the proposed development site was occupied by No. 20 St James Way from some date between 1940 and 1963, with the north-western part occupied by a tennis court. The south-western part of the site has remained largely undeveloped, despite the encroachment of housing estates to the west. There are no known archaeological remains within the proposed development area. However, the site lies within an archaeological priority area, and the potential for archaeological remains, particularly of the Iron Age/ Roman and post medieval periods, cannot be ruled out. The site also lies just outside a Conservation Area. The presence of the grade II listed wall forming the northern boundary of the proposed development site and historically linked to the former North Cray Estate and perhaps dating to Lancelot Brown's landscaping design, suggests that archaeological recording may be necessary prior to any changes within the proposed development site. |
