Abstract: |
This desk-top assessment is a requirement of Condition 5 of planning permission 2013/2693 for the demolition of the existing property and the erection of two three-storey plus basement semi-detached houses at 2 Roehampton Gate, London, SW15 5JS. This desk-top assessment summarises the heritage assets and their significance within the study area, the impacts of historic land use on those assets and the impact which the proposed development will have on them. For most of its history the proposed development site lay in open fields then cultivated land then woodland before being developed in 1937 when the current house was built. A review of the existing information has identified both designated and undesignated heritage assets within the study area: an APA; Richmond Park (registered park and garden); Palewell Common (locally registered park and garden); Templeton House (Grade II listed building); and Ibstock Place School (locally listed building); and buried archaeological remains. The significance of these heritage assets range from low for the locally listed building and buried archaeological remains to high/medium for the listed building and APA. Based on the archaeological and cartographic evidence there is a low probability of finding prehistoric remains; and a low probability of finding Medieval or post-Medieval remains on the site. The proposed development will require the excavation of a basement to a depth of c.4m across the width of the buildings. It is thought that the construction of the semi-detached houses will truncate any potentially surviving archaeological deposits. |
