Abstract: |
A planning application is being submitted for the redevelopment of the site to include demolition of the existing buildings, excavation of basement areas and the erection of townhouses, apartments and retail units. A review of the existing information has identified designated and undesignated heritage assets within the study area which comprise: APA's; a SAM; a Registered Park and Garden; Grade II listed buildings; the site is in a conservation area; and archaeological monuments and features dating to the Roman, Saxon and Post-Medieval periods. The significance of these heritage assets ranges from high for the Grade I Registered Park and Garden and Scheduled Ancient Monument to low for the archaeological monuments and finds. The potential for finding buried heritage assets within the study area is thought to be low for occupation sites and low for stray, residual finds. Before the site was developed in the mid-19th Century it was common land being used for arable cultivation, pasture or farmland. The intensity of development has been low, concentrated on the High Street frontage and on the western boundary. It is likely that the historic development would have truncated any archaeological deposits and therefore the potential of finding buried heritage assets is thought to be low. The proposed development will involve the demolition of the existing buildings and the excavation of a basement to c.5m. This has the potential to truncate any potentially surviving archaeological deposits, however, the probability for this is thought to be low based on the archaeological and historical evidence. |
