Abstract: |
A planning application is being submitted for the redevelopment of the site to include demolition of the existing building and erection of a detached house. A review of the existing information has identified designated and undesignated heritage assets within the study area: an APA; parks and gardens; and archaeological find spots and monuments dating to the prehistoric, Roman, Early Medieval/Dark Age and post-medieval periods. Their significance ranges from medium to high for the APA to low for the archaeological find spots and monuments. The historic and cartographic evidence shows that the application site has been part of the manor of Barn Elms since at least the 11th century. In the 18th century the landscaped gardens were laid out. During the second half of the 20th century the site formed part of the Barn Elms Sports Club Playing Fields. It is considered the site has a low potential for finding buried heritage assets dating to the prehistoric, Roman and Early Dark Age periods and a moderate potential for medieval and post-medieval periods based on the geological and topographical nature and previous archaeological investigations in the study area; and the GLHER. The construction of the current house in 1975 involved the excavation of foundations to c.1.5m and subsequent levelling and landscaping would have reduced existing levels truncating any existing buried heritage assets. The foundations have the potential to truncate any potentially surviving heritage assets. The prospect of this is thought to be low based on the archaeological and historical evidence. |
