Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken on land forming part of Opus 40 Business Park, located on the western outskirts of Warwick (National Grid Reference SP 26852 65917). It was completed on behalf of Taylor Wimpey Midlands, who intend to construct a combination of residential properties with associated infrastructure. The assessment focused upon the proposed development at the application site, but also covered a wider study area in order to provide a broader understanding of the local context, considering heritage assets within 1km of the site. This report therefore describes and assesses the significance and setting of heritage assets (and potential heritage assets) that could be affected by the application. The proposed development site shows no clear indication of significant archaeological activity and the historic character and setting of this site has been significantly altered by previous encroachment of urban development. Archaeological interest is expected to be limited to the potential survival of agricultural remains associated with medieval farming and the likely presence of modern building foundations. There may also be remains of landscaping associated with the tree nursery known to occupy part of the site in the early 20th century. None of these assets have any notable significance. The existence of unpredicted buried remains from earlier periods is considered very unlikely and the historic mapping evidence suggests that the site occupies what was previously a rural landscape with little indication of settlement activity. The proposed development will have no significant impact (either physically or in terms of setting) on any designated heritage assets.
