Abstract: |
A pre-application enquiry for residential development was made to Bedford Borough Council in relation to land adjacent to 8 Bedford Road, Cople, Bedfordshire. G C Planning is gathering baseline information in support of the development. Archaeological trial trenching took place on the proposed development area in April 2018. Archaeological features were identified in one of the ten trenches, providing evidence of activity on the site dating from the post-medieval or modern periods. Trenching has demonstrated that much of the area is probably devoid of archaeological remains apart from a palaeochannel (silted-up stream bed that did not did not contain any evidence of human activity) and a modern boundary ditch. The proposed residential development and associated groundworks could potentially have a negative impact on any sub-surface remains on the area However, the results of the field evaluation suggest that the archaeological potential of the site is low and, therefore, the potential impact of the proposed development on archaeological remains is negligible. |
