Abstract: |
This desk-top assessment has been prepared in advance of a planning application to be submitted for the redevelopment of Megabowl, 142/144 Streatham Hill SW2. The proposed development site lies within an APZ as designated by the London Borough of Lambeth. A search of the local archaeology within the study area has produced 18 records held on English Heritage's GLSMR: one Roman; two medieval; 10 post-medieval; four producing negative evidence; and one yet to be entered on the database. The proposed development comprises 104 1, 2 and 3 bedroom flats and 529m2 of retail accommodation fronting Streatham Hill. The existing frontage building is to be retained and refurbished with the new building work starting 20m behind the Streatham Hill frontage. The London to Portslade Roman road is thought to be on the alignment of the present Streatham Hill (although it has yet to be found in the vicinity of the site). As the existing building is to be retained to a depth of 10m westwards from the Streatham Hill frontage the opportunity to reveal any evidence to support this assumption is unlikely to arise. The proposed development site lay in open fields until the mid-19th century when the first of three phases of development occurred. It is anticipated that when the depth and extent of the foundations of the proposed development are combined with those of the theatre development in the 1930s the level of truncation would be so severe that the potential for finding any archaeological deposits is low. |
