Abstract: |
This desk-top assessment has been prepared to support a planning application for the redevelopment of 233-241 Lewisham High Street, London SE13 with the erection of a multi storey building comprising 56 flats and an A1 retail unit. The proposed development site lies within an APZ and as such a desk-top assessment is required to support any planning application. A search of the local archaeology within the study area produced 56 records held on English Heritage's GLSMR: two prehistoric; one Roman; five Medieval; 28 post-Medieval; three of unknown date; three producing negative evidence; and 14 listed buildings. This assessment concludes that there is a low potential of finding archaeological material dating to the prehistoric and Roman periods based on the low occurrence of finds and features within the study area from these periods; that there is low potential of finding archaeological material dating to the Medieval period based on the SMR; and that there is a moderate to high potential of finding archaeological material dating to the post-Medieval period based on the SMR and the historic map evidence. It is likely that the current development would have truncated any surviving archaeological deposits from the 19th Century, or earlier and therefore it is thought that the proposed development site is unlikely to contain archaeological deposits that would require preservation in-situ. Accordingly, it is suggested that any future archaeological work such as fieldwork could be secured through the imposition of archaeological planning conditions as part of the granting of planning permission. |
